The documentation of the command [SELECT](https://dicedb.io/commands/select/) present in this directory could have become stale. We need your help to ensure that the documentation is complete, correct, and consistent. Completing this issue will give you much-needed exposure to how the command is implemented and the different parameters it accepts. Hence, this is a great way to build a good understanding of the project and its functionality. While still making a significant contribution. Here's what you need to do:
The documentation should contain the following sections in the following order
short and concise introduction paragraph about the command covering what it does
Syntax
Parameters: List all the parameters the command accepts, and ignore the section if there are no parameters
Return values: List all possible return values and under what condition
Behaviour: Describe the behavior of the command, what it does, how it does it, some internal specifics if any
Errors: List all possible errors the command can throw and under what condition
Examples: List all possible examples of the command and the expected output. Assume CLI implementation
Note: The title of the sections should be the exact strings mentioned above, like "Examples", "Return values", etc.
Note: The description of the command in Frontmatter of the command.md file is the first paragraph (introduction) of the command.
Go through the DiceDB/dice repository and explore the command implementation
to understand all possible return values
to understand all possible error values and conditions
to understand different parameters the command accepts
Please use the documentation of the SET command as the reference point and structure the
documentation of this command in a very similar way, including the following points
if you see any "Conclusion" section, remove it
the headers (h1, h2, h3) should be appropriately used
the CLI prompt should be 127.0.0.1:7379> and not anything else
Use markdown tables for parameters and return values (ref SET command documentation)
wrap any command or paramter in backticks (`) to highlight them
the section header should be capitalize as used in the SET command documentation
If you find any inconsistencies, please fix the documentation in the DiceDB/docs repository and raise the PR.
The core idea of this exercise is to ensure that the documentation is consistent, correct, and complete.
Note: The PR for changes in documentation needs to be raised in the docs repository while issue or fix in core database implementation will be raised in the dice repository.
Make sure you comment on the other issues you created (if any) as a comment on this issue and also any PR (if any) that you created.
