Example 2: Changing a retention setting (CIFS)

This example extends the retention period for the wind.jpg object by one year. If this object is still open due to lazy close, changing the retention setting closes it. For information on lazy close, see CIFS lazy close.

Windows command

echo +1y > y:\images\wind.jpg\retention.txt

Python code

retention_value = "+1y"
retention_fh = file("y:\\images\\wind.jpg\\retention.txt")
try:
retention_fh.write(retention_value)
finally:
retention_fh.close()
