The official documentation can be found here.

[hiredis]Multiple hincrbys only return one result(REDIS_REPLY_INTEGER)

When using hiredis, use redisAppendCommand to put multiple hincrby commands, the reply->type result of redisGetReply is REDIS_REPLY_INTEGER, and only one of the results is returned.
But when I use hmget, the result of reply->type is REDIS_REPLY_ARRAY.

    Thank you very much for answering my question.
    And the official reply from HIREDIS is here.

    This is correct given the specifications of both commands.

The hmget command returns an array reply, while hincrby returns an. integer.

Here is a small example that appends several HINCRBY commands and then prints each of the replies.

    Since you call redisAppendCommand multiple times, you should call redisGetReply the same number of times to get all replies. For each reply, it’s of type REDIS_REPLY_INTEGER. Because the reply type of hincrby is integer type, or array type.

    The reply type of hmget is array reply, and that’s why you get REDIS_REPLY_ARRAY.

    Since you tag the question with c++, you can try redis-plus-plus, which is a user-friendly C++ client for Redis and you don’t need to parse the reply manually:

    auto r = sw::redis::Redis("tcp://127.0.0.1:6379");
for (auto idx = 0; idx < 5; ++idx) {
    r.hincrby("key", "field", 1);
}
std::vector<std::string> fields = {"f1", "f2"};
std::vector<std::optinal<std::string>> vals;
r.hmget("key", fields.begin(), fields.end(), std::back_inserter(vals));
