Replace references to swift.openstack.org
The policy of giving projects vanity domains stopped about 5 years ago.
swift.openstack.org is a redirect to the canonical location -
docs.openstack.org/developer/swift. While we are not aiming to remove
the redirect any time in the forseeable future due to existing published
links pointing to it, we should at the very least stop adding more of
those links to the world.

.SH NAME
.LP
.B swift-object-expirer
\- OpenStack Swift object expirer
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.B swift-object-expirer
[CONFIG] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [-o|--once]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The swift-object-expirer offers scheduled deletion of objects. The Swift client would
use the X-Delete-At or X-Delete-After headers during an object PUT or POST and the
cluster would automatically quit serving that object at the specified time and would
shortly thereafter remove the object from the system.
The X-Delete-At header takes a Unix Epoch timestamp, in integer form; for example:
1317070737 represents Mon Sep 26 20:58:57 2011 UTC.
The X-Delete-After header takes a integer number of seconds. The proxy server
that receives the request will convert this header into an X-Delete-At header
using its current time plus the value given.
The options are as follows:
.RS 4
.PD 0
.IP "-v"
.IP "--verbose"
.RS 4
.IP "log to console"
.RE
.IP "-o"
.IP "--once"
