第一个是 redisConnect 返回的 redisContext上下文结构

typedef struct redisContext {
  int err; /* Error flags, 0 when there is no error */

  int fd;
  int flags;

    char *host;
    char *source_addr;
    int port;
  } tcp;
  struct {
    char *path;
  } unix_sock;
} redisContext;

还有一个是 redisCommand 返回的命令集
/* This is the reply object returned by redisCommand() */
typedef struct redisReply {
  int type; /* REDIS_REPLY_* */
  long long integer; /* The integer when type is REDIS_REPLY_INTEGER */
  int len; /* Length of string */
  char *str; /* Used for both REDIS_REPLY_ERROR and REDIS_REPLY_STRING */
  size_t elements; /* number of elements, for REDIS_REPLY_ARRAY */
  struct redisReply **element; /* elements vector for REDIS_REPLY_ARRAY */
} redisReply;
