## Properties


| Property | Modifiers | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [\_\_imq?](https://imqueue.org/api/core/latest/core.iredisclient.__imq/) |  | boolean | _(Optional)_ Internal marker stamped on every Redis connection created by the queue, identifying it as imq-owned. Currently written but not read by the framework. Not part of the supported API. |
| [\_\_ready\_\_?](https://imqueue.org/api/core/latest/core.iredisclient.__ready__/) |  | boolean | _(Optional)_ Internal flag marking a watcher connection whose keyspace subscriptions and maintenance interval have already been installed, so watcher setup runs at most once per connection.
