NAME¶
swift-object-expirer - Openstack-swift object expirer
SYNOPSIS¶
swift-object-expirer [CONFIG] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [-o|--once]
DESCRIPTION¶
The swift-object-expirer offers scheduled deletion of objects. The Swift client
would use the X-Delete-At or X-Delete-After headers during an object PUT or
POST and the cluster would automatically quit serving that object at the
specified time and would shortly thereafter remove the object from the system.
The X-Delete-At header takes a Unix Epoch timestamp, in integer form; for
example: 1317070737 represents Mon Sep 26 20:58:57 2011 UTC.
The X-Delete-After header takes a integer number of seconds. The proxy server
that receives the request will convert this header into an X-Delete-At header
using its current time plus the value given.
The options are as follows:
- -v
- --verbose
- -o
- --once
- only run one pass of daemon
