Redis Stream NOMKSTREAM

Question

What is this NOMKSTREAM in redis stream? I went through the documentation. Too bad they do not even provide simple description about it.

https://redis.io/commands/xadd

Can someone please explain?

By default, if the stream key doesn't exist, XADD will create the stream automatically. However, if NOMKSTREAM is specified, XADD will return a NULL reply in this case.

The "simple" description is right at the beginning of XADD's doc page:

The creation of stream's key can be disabled with the NOMKSTREAM option.
