SDIFF

Syntax

SDIFF key [key ...]

Time complexity: O(N) where N is the total number of elements in all given sets.

Returns the members of the set resulting from the difference between the first set and all the successive sets.

For example:

key1 = {a,b,c,d}
key2 = {c}
key3 = {a,c,e}
SDIFF key1 key2 key3 = {b,d}

Keys that do not exist are considered to be empty sets.

Return

Array reply: list with members of the resulting set.

dragonfly> SADD key1 "c"
(integer) 1
dragonfly> SADD key2 "c"
(integer) 1
dragonfly> SADD key2 "d"
(integer) 1
dragonfly> SADD key2 "e"
(integer) 1
dragonfly> SDIFF key1 key2
1) "b"
