Syntax

REPLCONF

ffkv behavior and limits

Server introspection describes ffkv, not a Redis process. MEMORY reports owned-allocation estimates, not jemalloc accounting. Administrative changes can affect all clients or persistent data; consult the scenario and operations guide before using destructive forms.

Source: README.md:393–395, 601–642; tests/bdd/features/server.feature; tests/bdd/features/catalog.feature.

Native RESP replication is asynchronous and distinct from HTTP snapshot polling. WAIT/WAITAOF barriers belong on the writing connection; acknowledgements do not certify failover safety. Upstream network policy and persistent storage must be configured deliberately (README.md:601–628).

All requests share the 8 MiB framing/1,024-argument ingress limit; normal RESP replies have 64 MiB wire/logical budgets with bounded nesting/value counts. Management and Lua origins impose smaller budgets. These are not a process RSS cap. Catalog inclusion is not exhaustive option or wire-format parity. See limits and compatibility.

Upstream metadata

The following fields come from the pinned Redis metadata, not measured ffkv performance or an assertion that ffkv enforces every upstream flag. Running COMMAND INFO/COMMAND DOCS describe the current engine.

Upstream Redis complexity: O(1)

Upstream arity: -1 (includes the command name; a negative number is a minimum).

Command flags: ADMIN, NOSCRIPT, LOADING, STALE, ALLOW_BUSY.

Documentation flags: SYSCMD.

BDD coverage and source examples

These are source observations, not a test run performed by this documentation build. A tag identifies scenario intent; an extracted vector identifies a command invocation, which may intentionally produce an error. Scenarios may require setup, multiple connections, persistence, cluster nodes or native-module fixtures.

• Capability negotiation ignores unknown capabilities but not unknown options — tests/bdd/features/replication.feature:161; command tag and invocation observed.
• Processed ACK does not pretend the replica has fsynced the write — tests/bdd/features/replication.feature:178; command tag.

Extracted command vectors

The following JSON arrays are the test harness’s argument vectors, not shell commands. Numeric arguments are converted by the harness; objects of the form {"base64":"…"} represent decoded binary bytes, not a literal JSON command argument. Preserve scenario setup and connection ordering. See the CLI guide for shell quoting and binary stdin. No reply is invented or inferred.
