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
