+// Package redis is a client for the Redis database.
+//
+// The Redigo FAQ (https://github.com/garyburd/redigo/wiki/FAQ) contains more
+// documentation about this package.
+//
+// Connections
+//
+// The Conn interface is the primary interface for working with Redis.
+// Applications create connections by calling the Dial, DialWithTimeout or
+// NewConn functions. In the future, functions will be added for creating
+// sharded and other types of connections.
+//
+// The application must call the connection Close method when the application
+// is done with the connection.
+//
+// Executing Commands
+//
+// The Conn interface has a generic method for executing Redis commands:
+//
+// Do(commandName string, args ...interface{}) (reply interface{}, err error)
+//
+// The Redis command reference (http://redis.io/commands) lists the available
+// commands. An example of using the Redis APPEND command is:
+//
+// n, err := conn.Do("APPEND", "key", "value")
+//
+// The Do method converts command arguments to binary strings for transmission
+// to the server as follows:
+//
+// Go Type Conversion
+// []byte Sent as is
+// string Sent as is
+// int, int64 strconv.FormatInt(v)
+// float64 strconv.FormatFloat(v, 'g', -1, 64)
+// bool true -> "1", false -> "0"
+// nil ""
+// all other types fmt.Print(v)
+//
+// Redis command reply types are represented using the following Go types:
+//
+// Redis type Go type
+// error redis.Error
+// integer int64
+// simple string string
+// bulk string []byte or nil if value not present.
+// array []interface{} or nil if value not present.
+//
+// Use type assertions or the reply helper functions to convert from
+// interface{} to the specific Go type for the command result.
+//
+// Pipelining
+//
+// Connections support pipelining using the Send, Flush and Receive methods.
+//
+// Send(commandName string, args ...interface{}) error
+// Flush() error
+// Receive() (reply interface{}, err error)
+//
+// Send writes the command to the connection's output buffer. Flush flushes the
+// connection's output buffer to the server. Receive reads a single reply from
+// the server. The following example shows a simple pipeline.
+//
+// c.Send("SET", "foo", "bar")
+// c.Send("GET", "foo")
+// c.Flush()
+// c.Receive() // reply from SET
+// v, err = c.Receive() // reply from GET
+//
+// The Do method combines the functionality of the Send, Flush and Receive
+// methods. The Do method starts by writing the command and flushing the output
+// buffer. Next, the Do method receives all pending replies including the reply
+// for the command just sent by Do. If any of the received replies is an error,
+// then Do returns the error. If there are no errors, then Do returns the last
+// reply. If the command argument to the Do method is "", then the Do method
+// will flush the output buffer and receive pending replies without sending a
+// command.
+//
+// Use the Send and Do methods to implement pipelined transactions.
+//
+// c.Send("MULTI")
+// c.Send("INCR", "foo")
+// c.Send("INCR", "bar")
+// r, err := c.Do("EXEC")
+// fmt.Println(r) // prints [1, 1]
+//
+// Concurrency
+//
+// Connections do not support concurrent calls to the write methods (Send,
+// Flush) or concurrent calls to the read method (Receive). Connections do
+// allow a concurrent reader and writer.
+//
+// Because the Do method combines the functionality of Send, Flush and Receive,
+// the Do method cannot be called concurrently with the other methods.
+//
+// For full concurrent access to Redis, use the thread-safe Pool to get and
+// release connections from within a goroutine.
+//
+// Publish and Subscribe
+//
+// Use the Send, Flush and Receive methods to implement Pub/Sub subscribers.
+//
+// c.Send("SUBSCRIBE", "example")
+// c.Flush()
+// for {
+// reply, err := c.Receive()
+// if err != nil {
+// return err
+// }
+// // process pushed message
+// }
+//
+// The PubSubConn type wraps a Conn with convenience methods for implementing
+// subscribers. The Subscribe, PSubscribe, Unsubscribe and PUnsubscribe methods
+// send and flush a subscription management command. The receive method
+// converts a pushed message to convenient types for use in a type switch.
+//
+// psc := redis.PubSubConn{c}
+// psc.Subscribe("example")
+// for {
+// switch v := psc.Receive().(type) {
+// case redis.Message:
+// fmt.Printf("%s: message: %s\n", v.Channel, v.Data)
+// case redis.Subscription:
+// fmt.Printf("%s: %s %d\n", v.Channel, v.Kind, v.Count)
+// case error:
+// return v
+// }
+// }
+//
+// Reply Helpers
+//
+// The Bool, Int, Bytes, String, Strings and Values functions convert a reply
+// to a value of a specific type. To allow convenient wrapping of calls to the
+// connection Do and Receive methods, the functions take a second argument of
+// type error. If the error is non-nil, then the helper function returns the
+// error. If the error is nil, the function converts the reply to the specified
+// type:
+//
+// exists, err := redis.Bool(c.Do("EXISTS", "foo"))
+// if err != nil {
+// // handle error return from c.Do or type conversion error.
+// }
+//
+// The Scan function converts elements of a array reply to Go types:
+//
+// var value1 int
+// var value2 string
+// reply, err := redis.Values(c.Do("MGET", "key1", "key2"))
+// if err != nil {
+// // handle error
+// }
+// if _, err := redis.Scan(reply, &value1, &value2); err != nil {
+// // handle error
+// }
