Function RM_OpenKey

src/module.cpp:2332–2351

Return an handle representing a Redis key, so that it is possible * to call other APIs with the key handle as argument to perform * operations on the key. * * The return value is the handle representing the key, that must be * closed with RM_CloseKey(). * * If the key does not exist and WRITE mode is requested, the handle * is still returned, since it is possible to perform operations on

 * call RedisModule_CloseKey() and RedisModule_KeyType() on a NULL
 * value. */
