ZREM

Syntax

ZREM key member [member ...]

Time complexity: O(M*log(N)) with N being the number of elements in the sorted set and M the number of elements to be removed.

ACL categories: @write, @sortedset, @fast

Removes the specified members from the sorted set stored at key. Non existing members are ignored.
