Hello Daniel,

thanks for your answer.  This still confuses me:

Has autoexpire something to do with last update?  Do I understand correctly 
that:

- autoexpire determines if items are removed in general, independent of the 
last update, and
- updateexpire sets, whether last update is relevant when deciding on removing 
an item?

If my understanding is correct, then the word “update” shall be removed from 
the description of “autoexpire”.

Example:
modparam('htable', 'htable', 'a=>autoexpire=5;updateexpire=1')
modparam('htable', 'htable', 'b=>autoexpire=5;updateexpire=0')

X="Y" is inserted into a and b:
$sht(a=>X) = "Y"
$sht(b=>X) = "Y"

Two seconds later a[X] and b[X] are updated to 'Z'
$sht(a=>X) = "Z"
$sht(b=>X) = "Z"


Three seconds later b[X] is removed, and a[X] is kept.

Greetings
  Dilyan

Hello,

there is no updatedelete in the htable module.

The updateexpire should be set to 0 when you want the item to be removed
always after the expire interval. Otherwise, an update to the item
result in prolonging its lifetime with another expire interval.

Cheers,
Daniel
