BITOP

Perform bitwise operations between strings.

The BITOP command in Redis is used to perform bitwise operations on multiple keys (or Redis strings) and store the result in a destination key. It is primarily used for performing logical AND, OR, XOR, and NOT operations on binary data stored in Redis.

Arguments

operation

AND | OR | XOR | NOT

required

Specifies the type of bitwise operation to perform, which can be one of the following: AND, OR, XOR, or NOT.

destkey

str

required

The key to store the result of the operation in.

keys

*List[str]

required

One or more keys to perform the operation on.

Response

The size of the string stored in the destination key.

Example

# key1 = 00000001
# key2 = 00000010
redis.setbit("key1", 0, 1)
redis.setbit("key2", 0, 0)
redis.setbit("key2", 1, 1)

assert redis.bitop("AND", "dest", "key1", "key2") == 1

# result = 00000000
assert redis.getbit("dest", 0) == 0
assert redis.getbit("dest", 1) == 0
