Function RM_SetExpire

src/module.cpp:2466–2476

Set a new expire for the key. If the special expire * REDISMODULE_NO_EXPIRE is set, the expire is cancelled if there was * one (the same as the PERSIST command). * * Note that the expire must be provided as a positive integer representing * the number of milliseconds of TTL the key should have. * * The function returns REDISMODULE_OK on success or REDISMODULE_ERR if * the key was not open

 * The function returns REDISMODULE_OK on success or REDISMODULE_ERR if
 * the key was not open for writing or is an empty key. */
