NAME

       object-expirer.conf - configuration file for the openstack-swift object exprier daemon

SYNOPSIS

       object-expirer.conf

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  the configuration file used by the object expirer daemon. The daemon's function is to query the
       internal hidden expiring_objects_account to discover objects that need to be deleted and to  then  delete
       them.

       The  configuration  file  follows the python-pastedeploy syntax. The file is divided into sections, which
       are enclosed by square brackets. Each section will contain a certain number of key/value parameters which
       are described later.

       Any line that begins with a '#' symbol is ignored.
