PEXPIREAT has the same effect and semantic as EXPIREAT, but the Unix time at which the key will expire is specified in milliseconds instead of seconds.

Required arguments

key

The name of the key to set a timeout on.

unix-time-milliseconds

The absolute Unix expiration timestamp, in milliseconds since Unix epoch. A timestamp in the past deletes the key immediately.

Optional arguments

The following options modify the command's behavior. They are mutually exclusive.

NX

Set expiry only when the key has no expiry.

XX

Set expiry only when the key has an existing expiry.

GT

Set expiry only when the new expiry is greater than the current one. A non-volatile key is treated as an infinite TTL for the purpose of GT.

LT

Set expiry only when the new expiry is less than the current one. A non-volatile key is treated as an infinite TTL for the purpose of LT.

Examples

SET mykey "Hello" PEXPIREAT mykey 1555555555005 TTL mykey PTTL mykey
