BRPOPLPUSH source destination timeout

BRPOPLPUSH is the blocking variant of RPOPLPUSH. When source contains elements, this command behaves exactly like RPOPLPUSH. When used inside a MULTI/EXEC block, this command behaves exactly like RPOPLPUSH. When source is empty, Redis will block the connection until another client pushes to it or until timeout is reached. A timeout of zero can be used to block indefinitely.

As per Redis 6.2.0, BRPOPLPUSH is considered deprecated. Please prefer BLMOVE in new code.

See RPOPLPUSH for more information.

*Return value

Bulk string reply: the element being popped from source and pushed to destination. If timeout is reached, a Null reply is returned.

*History

  • >= 6.0: timeout is interpreted as a double instead of an integer.

*Pattern: Reliable queue
