PERSIST

Syntax​

PERSIST key

Time complexity: O(1)

ACL categories: @keyspace, @write, @fast

Remove the existing timeout on key, turning the key from volatile (a key with an expire set) to persistent (a key that will never expire as no timeout is associated).

Return​

Integer reply, specifically:

  • 1 if the timeout was removed.
  • 0 if key does not exist or does not have an associated timeout.
