+Valkey is an advanced key-value store.
+It is similar to memcached but the dataset is not volatile, and values
+can be strings, exactly like in memcached, but also lists, sets, and
+ordered sets.
+These data types can be manipulated with atomic operations to push/pop
+elements, add/remove elements, perform server side union, intersection,
+difference between sets, and so forth.
+Valkey supports different kinds of sorting abilities.
+
+Valkey is a fork of Redis after licence went proprietary.
+
+Default port for starting the instance can be set with
+VALKEY_PORT=16379
+Defaults remains the Redis port at 6379, hence making it incompatible
+out-of-the-package with a parallel Redis instance running.
+
+valkey-cli is (for now) fully compatible with redis-cli, and defaults
+to redis port 6379.
+
+Valkey still uses, by default, redis binary names, but this script
+replaces them with valkey names: valkey-server, valkey-cli and
+valkey-benchmark, for having it installed alongside Redis.
+Data are also moved to /var/lib/valkey
+This can be reversed by setting the VALKEY_BIN environment variable to
+anything but ON.
+Logs will always be in /var/log/valkey, and RC script is always
+/etc/rc.d/rc.valkey
