Index X - Expires

expire: Sat Oct 2 01:47:11 2004 (14 days)
This time is equivalent to the "due" date, but it is reported as "expire" when the client has not calculated it itself. Normally this means the work unit didn't contain any expiration data, so the client couldn't calculate it, but qd was able to find out how much time is allowed by reading the emprotx.dat or emprotz.dat file. This distinction might be important, since often the deadline stored in the EM III data file is the shorter "Preferred" one, but in any case, the unit will never be in danger of deletion, since the client doesn't know any deadline at all.

grep "496 Allowed" qd.c
                u32     expire;         /* 496 Allowed time to return (seconds) */
