Returns [Array reply]({{< relref "/develop/reference/protocol-spec#arrays" >}}) of keys from a full Redis command and their usage flags.
COMMAND GETKEYSANDFLAGS is a helper command to let you find the keys from a full Redis command together with flags indicating what each key is used for.
[COMMAND]({{< relref "/commands/command" >}}) provides information on how to find the key names of each command (see firstkey, [key specifications]({{< relref "develop/reference/key-specs#logical-operation-flags" >}}), and movablekeys),
but in some cases it's not possible to find keys of certain commands and then the entire command must be parsed to discover some / all key names.
You can use [COMMAND GETKEYS]({{< relref "/commands/command-getkeys" >}}) or COMMAND GETKEYSANDFLAGS to discover key names directly from how Redis parses the commands.
Refer to [key specifications]({{< relref "develop/reference/key-specs#logical-operation-flags" >}}) for information about the meaning of the key flags.
