Function moduleCreateEmptyKey

src/module.cpp:548–576

Create an empty key of the specified type. `key` must point to a key object * opened for writing where the `.value` member is set to NULL because the * key was found to be non existing. * * On success REDISMODULE_OK is returned and the key is populated with * the value of the specified type. The function fails and returns * REDISMODULE_ERR if: * * 1. The key is not open for writing. * 2.

 * 3. The specified type is unknown.
