<i>Time complexity: O(1)</i><blockquote>Increment the number stored at <i>field</i> in the hash at <i>key</i> by <i>value</i>. If <i>key</i> does not exist, a new key holding a hash is created. If <i>field</i> does not exist or holds a string, the value is set to 0 before applying the operation.</blockquote>
<blockquote>The range of values supported by HINCRBY is limited to 64 bit signed integers.</blockquote><h2><a name="Examples">Examples</a></h2>
Since the <i>value</i> argument is signed you can use this command to perform both increments and decrements:<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python" name="code">
HINCRBY key field 1 (increment by one)
HINCRBY key field -1 (decrement by one, just like the DECR command)
HINCRBY key field -10 (decrement by 10)
</pre>
<h2><a name="Return value">Return value</a></h2><a href="ReplyTypes.html">Integer reply</a> The new value at <i>field</i> after the increment operation.
