NEXPIREAT sets the moment key expires as an absolute Unix timestamp in nanoseconds. It always replaces the current time to live. A timestamp that is already in the past makes the key expire at once.

Return value

Section titled “Return value”
Case RESP2 RESP3
The time was set Integer 1 Integer 1
The key does not exist Integer 0 Integer 0

ERR value is not an integer or out of range when the timestamp is not a 64-bit integer.

Examples

Section titled “Examples”
127.0.0.1:6379> SET report "q3"

127.0.0.1:6379> NEXPIREAT report 1893456000000000000
