NAME
swift-object-expirer - OpenStack Swift object expirer
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/swift/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
log to console
-o
--once
only run one pass of daemon
The object expirer should be enabled and disabled using the
Solaris Service Management Facility, smf(5). The service
FMRI for the object expirer is:
svc:/application/openstack/swift/swift-object-expirer
