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
               log to console
           -o
           --once
               only run one pass of daemon
