 ## Parameters
 
-- `pattern`: A string that represents the pattern to match against the keys in the DiceDB database. The pattern can include special glob-style characters:
-  - `*` matches any number of characters (including zero).
-  - `?` matches exactly one character.
-  - `[abc]` matches any one of the characters inside the brackets.
-  - `[a-z]` matches any character in the specified range.

+| `pattern`           | A string representing the pattern to match against the keys in DiceDB databse.| String  | Yes      |
 
-## Return Value
+Supported glob-style characters:
+   - `*` matches any number of characters (including zero).
+   - `?` matches exactly one character.
+   - `[abc]` matches any one of the characters inside the brackets.
+   - `[a-z]` matches any character in the specified range.
 
-The `KEYS` command returns an array of strings, where each string is a key that matches the specified pattern. If no keys match the pattern, an empty array is returned.
+Use `\` to escape special characters if you want to match them verbatim.

 ## Behaviour
 
 When the `KEYS` command is executed, DiceDB scans the entire keyspace to find all keys that match the specified pattern. This operation is performed in a non-blocking manner, but it can still be slow if the keyspace is large. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to use the `KEYS` command in a production environment where performance is critical.
 
+Additionally, the ordering of the output keys can be different if you run the same command subsequently.

 ## Error Handling
 
 The `KEYS` command is straightforward and does not have many error conditions. However, there are a few scenarios where errors might occur:

 - `SCAN`: The `SCAN` command is a cursor-based iterator that allows you to incrementally iterate over the keyspace without blocking the server. It is a more efficient alternative to `KEYS` for large datasets.
