Lifetime and egress

How long a Space lives and which destinations it may reach, set after it exists.

set_lifetime gives a Space an end (deleted or suspended then), enforced by the daemon whether or not the client still runs. set_egress replaces its egress policy (EgressPolicy).

Lifetime and egress#

Methods of Spaces.

`Spaces.set_lifetime`#

Gives a Space a lifetime of seconds from now, replacing any earlier one: when it passes, the cua daemon deletes the Space (on_expire "delete", the default) or turns it off ("suspend"), whether or not this process is still running. Works for a Space on this machine or one of your machines. Returns when it ends (Unix seconds). Embedded: recorded; the cua daemon on this machine enforces it.

async def set_lifetime(self, space: str, seconds: int, on_expire: Optional[str]) -> int

Parameter	Type	Default
`space`	`String`	required
`seconds`	`u64`	required
`on_expire`	`Option<String>`	required

Returns i64 · Async · Raises CuaError

`Spaces.set_egress`#

Replaces a Space's egress policy; an empty one removes it (see EgressPolicy). Its host enforces it at once. A bad entry is InvalidArgument, a Space that cannot take one Unsupported.

async def set_egress(self, space: str, policy: EgressPolicy) -> None

Parameter	Type	Default
`space`	`String`	required
`policy`	`EgressPolicy`	required
