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.

       You   can   find   more  information  about  python-pastedeploy  configuration  format  at
