Forgot to mention that the command page shows it is supported:

HDEL key field [field ...]

That page also mentions:
"For Redis versions 2.2 and below, this command is only available as a
non-variadic variant. To remove multiple fields from a hash in an atomic
fashion for those versions, use a MULTI/EXEC block."

We like to keep the docs up to date with the latest available features
instead of having separate docs per version (since that is a big
maintenance pain). Instead, we like to simply mention the history of a
command on the same page to make sure there is as little confusion as
possible.

Cheers,
Pieter

Thanks for the response. I did not realize that extra disclaimer actually
includes the latest and greatest redis version (I thought it was 2.2.0).
Since there is no official 2.3.x, I think it seems odd to show that
confusing extra fields on the command help page. :)
