However it is not possible to use spaces, newlines, or other non-printable characters that would violate the format of the [`CLIENT LIST`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/client-list) reply.\n\n[Official client libraries](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/connect/clients/) allow extending `lib-name` with a custom suffix to expose additional information about the client. \nFor example, high-level libraries like [redis-om-spring](https://github.com/redis/redis-om-spring) can report their version. \nThe resulting `lib-name` would be `jedis(redis-om-spring_v1.0.0)`. \nBrace characters are used to delimit the custom suffix and should be avoided in the suffix itself.\nWe recommend using the following format for the custom suffixes for third-party libraries `(?<custom-name>[ -~]+)[ -~]v(?<custom-version>[\\d\\.]+)` and use `;` to delimit multiple suffixes.\n\nNote that these attributes are not cleared by the [`RESET`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/reset) command."
