Configuration file measurement units
Sizes can be specified in bytes, kilobytes
(suffixes k
and K
) or megabytes
(suffixes m
and M
), for example,
“1024
”, “8k
”, “1m
”.
Time intervals can be specified in milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days and so on, using the following suffixes:
ms | milliseconds |
s | seconds |
m | minutes |
h | hours |
d | days |
w | weeks |
M | months, 30 days |
y | years, 365 days |
Multiple units can be combined in a single value
by specifying them in the order from the most to the least significant,
and optionally separated by whitespace.
For example, “1h 30m
” specifies the same time
as “90m
” or “5400s
”.
A value without a suffix means seconds.
It is recommended to always specify a suffix.
Some of the time intervals can be specified only with a seconds resolution.
