CLIENT SETNAME

The command assigns a name to the current connection.

The assigned name is displayed in the output of so that it is possible to identify the client that performed a given connection.

It is not possible to use spaces in the connection name as this would violate the format of the reply.

It is possible to entirely remove the connection name setting it to the empty string, that is not a valid connection name since it serves to this specific purpose.

Every new connection starts without an assigned name.

Tip: setting names to connections is a good way to debug connection leaks due to bugs in the application using Dragonfly.
