hiredisMinimalistic C client library for the Redis database
1.3.0.15databasesΣ=3 1.3.0.15Version of this port present on the latest quarterly branch.upstream: v1.5.0A newer version was found upstream by portscout, first on 2026-10-16.
Hiredis is a minimalistic C client library for the Redis database.
It is minimalistic because it just adds minimal support for the protocol,
but at the same time it uses an high level printf-alike API in order to make
it much higher level than otherwise suggested by its minimal code base and
the lack of explicit bindings for every Redis command.
Apart from supporting sending commands and receiving replies, it comes with
a reply parser that is decoupled from the I/O layer. It is a stream parser
designed for easy reusability, which can for instance be used in higher
level language bindings for efficient reply parsing.
Hiredis only supports the binary-safe Redis protocol, so you can use it with
any Redis version >= 1.2.0.
The library comes with multiple APIs. There is the synchronous API, the
asynchronous API and the reply parsing API.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
