Description-en: minimalistic C client library for Redis (development files)
Hiredis is a minimalistic C client library for the Redis database. It is
minimalistic because it just adds minimal support for the protocol, but
at the same time it uses an high level printf-alike API in order to make
it much higher level than otherwise suggested by its minimal code base
and the lack of explicit bindings for every Redis command.
.
Apart from supporting sending commands and receiving replies, it comes
with a reply parser that is decoupled from the I/O layer. It is a stream
parser designed for easy reusability, which can for instance be used in
higher level language bindings for efficient reply parsing.
.
Hiredis only supports the binary-safe Redis protocol, so you can use it
with any Redis version >= 1.2.0.
.
The library comes with multiple APIs. There is the synchronous API, the
asynchronous API and the reply parsing API.
.
This package provides the development files for hiredis.
