Redis SCAN Command

Redis Keys

The Redis SCAN command is used to iterate over the database keys in the database.

The SCAN command is a cursor-based iterator, which returns a new cursor to the user after each call. The user needs to use this new cursor as the cursor parameter for the next SCAN command to continue the iteration process.

SCAN returns an array containing two elements: the first element is the new cursor for the next iteration, and the second element is an array containing all the iterated elements. If the new cursor returns 0, it indicates that the iteration has ended.
