`EXPIREAT` has the same effect and semantic as `EXPIRE`, but instead of specifying the number of seconds representing the TTL (time to live), it takes an absolute [Unix timestamp][hewowu] (seconds since January 1, 1970). A timestamp in the past will delete the key immediately. [hewowu]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time Please for the specific semantics of the command refer to the documentation of `EXPIRE`. ## Background `EXPIREAT` was introduced in order to convert relative timeouts to absolute timeouts for the AOF persistence mode. Of course, it can be used directly to specify that a given key should expire at a given time in the future. @return @integer-reply, specifically: - `1` if the timeout was set. - `0` if `key` does not exist. @examples ```cli SET mykey "Hello" EXISTS mykey EXPIREAT mykey 1293840000 EXISTS mykey ```
