BRPOPLPUSH

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.
