✨ RESET ✨

okay bestie, this is the valkey manual page for the reset command, and it is literally the "ctrl+alt+del but for your connection" icon 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

reset — resets the connection. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it hits the big red button on your connection's server-side situation 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

RESET

no args. no flags. just pure, unfiltered, take-no-arguments RESET. she does not want your input 💀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: this command does a full reset of the connection's server-side context. like, it's mimicking the whole "hang up and call back" move — disconnecting and reconnecting again — except you never actually leave. the glow-up happens in place ✨

when you call it from a regular client connection, it does all of this:

  • Discards the current MULTI transaction block, if one exists. (sorry queen, the transaction is cancelled 🚫)
  • Unwatches all keys WATCHed by the connection. 👀✖️
  • Disables CLIENT TRACKING, if in use.
  • Sets the connection to READWRITE mode.
  • Cancels the connection's ASKING mode, if previously set.
  • Sets CLIENT REPLY to ON.
  • Sets the protocol version to RESP2.
  • SELECTs database 0. back to basics, back to zero, main character energy 🏠
  • Exits MONITOR mode, when applicable.
  • Aborts Pub/Sub's subscription state (SUBSCRIBE and PSUBSCRIBE), when appropriate. no more listening, we're done streaming 📻
  • Deauthenticates the connection, requiring a call AUTH to reauthenticate when authentication is enabled. 🔐 yeah you're logged out, bestie — you gotta say who you are again
  • Turns off NO-EVICT mode.
  • Turns off NO-TOUCH mode.
lowkey the most thorough reset ever. it's giving factory settings. it's giving "new phone who dis". fr fr 🌈
