Method: Puppet::Indirector::Indirection#expire

Defined in:
lib/puppet/indirector/indirection.rb

#expire(key, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Expire a cached object, if one is cached. Note that we don’t actually remove it, we expire it and write it back out to disk. This way people can still use the expired object if they want.
