Description: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.
