 - **MODULE module-name**: get the commands that belong to the module specified by _module-name_.
 - **ACLCAT category**: get the commands in the [ACL category](https://redis.io/docs/latestoperate/oss_and_stack/management/security/acl#command-categories) specified by _category_.
 - **PATTERN pattern**: get the commands that match the given glob-like _pattern_.
