ExpirationDate

ExpirationDate

is an option for various functions that specifies when a persistent value should be treated as expired.

Details

  • ExpirationDate can be used for PersistentSymbol and InitializationValue.
  • Values can be given as absolute times or date and time specifications.
  • Numerical values are treated as values given by UnixTime.
  • The value Infinity () or None can be used to specify that a persistent value should never expire.
  • An expired persistent value is treated as nonexistent, and the underlying persistent object may be removed.
