🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ACL WHOAMI

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the vibe: this command returns the username that the current connection is authenticated with. Simple. Iconic. No drama.

New connections show up already authenticated as the "default" user — that's just how they arrive, main character energy from birth honestly. And if you wanna switch it up? You can change users using valkey-auth(7) AUTH. Slay.

💌 REPLY 💌

Per valkey-protocol(7), you get a Bulk string reply: the username of the current connection. That's your answer, no cap. ✨

🎀 COMPLEXITY 🎀

O(1) — literally instant, it's giving effortless 🫶
