PEXPIRE

PEXPIRE key milliseconds [NX | XX | GT | LT]

Available since:

2.6.0

Time complexity:

O(1)

ACL categories:

@keyspace, @write, @fast,

This command works exactly like EXPIRE but the time to live of the key is specified in milliseconds instead of seconds.

Options

The PEXPIRE command supports a set of options since Redis 7.0:

• 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 current one
• LT -- Set expiry only when the new expiry is less than current one

A non-volatile key is treated as an infinite TTL for the purpose of GT and LT. The GT, LT and NX options are mutually exclusive.

Examples

RESP2/RESP3 Reply

One of the following:

• Integer reply: 0if the timeout was not set. For example, if the key doesn't exist, or the operation skipped because of the provided arguments.
• Integer reply: 1 if the timeout was set.

History

• Starting with Redis version 7.0.0: Added options: NX, XX, GT and LT.
