Usage

redis.expire(rc, key, seconds)

Arguments

rc	Redis connection as returned by redis.connect
key	key associated with the counter
seconds	Number of seconds after which the key should expire

Details

Set a timeout on key. After the timeout has expired, the key will automatically be deleted. A key with an associated timeout is often said to be volatile in Redis terminology.

It is possible to call EXPIRE using as argument a key that already has an existing expire set. In this case the time to live of a key is updated to the new value.
