SCRIPT-SHOW(3valkey)

💖 SCRIPT-SHOW 💖

okay bestie, quick vibe check: this is the Valkey Command Manual page for script-show, and it's lowkey one of the most useful little gremlins in the whole scripting toolbox. let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

script-show — show server-side Lua script in the script cache. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

SCRIPT SHOW sha1

that's it. that's the whole thing. no cap. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So. You hand it a SHA1 digest and it hands you back the original source code of that script — but ONLY if the script is actually sitting in the script cache. If it's not there? No source for you, sorry bestie. 😭

It's giving debugging main character energy. The whole point is letting you peek inside a script when you literally do not have direct access to it. Like, imagine an admin who only ever sees a script's SHA1 floating by in the monitor or in the slowlog — they're staring at a hash like "okay but what ARE you" 🙈 and SCRIPT SHOW is the friend who tells them. Fr fr.
