 | REDIS\_OPT\_NONBLOCK | Tells hiredis to make a non-blocking connection. |

-| REDIS\_OPT\_PREFER\_IPV4<br>REDIS\_OPT\_PREFER_IPV6 | Informs hiredis to either prefer `IPV4` or `IPV6` when invoking [getaddrinfo](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/gai_strerror.3.html).  Note that both of the options may be set at once, which will cause hiredis to spcify `AF_UNSPEC` in the getaddrinfo call, which means both `IPV4` and `IPV6` addresses will be searched simultaneously. |

 | REDIS\_OPT\_NO\_PUSH\_AUTOFREE | Tells hiredis to not install the default RESP3 PUSH handler (which just intercepts and frees the replies).  This is useful in situations where you want to process these messages in-band. |
 | REDIS\_OPT\_NOAUOTFREEREPLIES | **ASYNC**: tells hiredis not to automatically invoke `freeReplyObject` after executing the reply callback. |
 | REDIS\_OPT\_NOAUTOFREE | **ASYNC**: Tells hiredis not to automatically free the `redisAsyncContext` on connection/communication failure, but only if the user makes an explicit call to `redisAsyncDisconnect` or `redisAsyncFree` |
