PATCH /storage/snaplock/file/{volume.uuid}/{path}

Introduced In: 9.7

Updates the SnapLock retention time of a file or extends the retention time of a WORM file. Input parameters "expiry_time" or "retention_period" can be used to set or extend the retention time of file. Both "expiry_time" and "retention_period" parameters expect the date in ISO 8601 format. Additionally, the "expiry_time" parameter can also be set to "infinite" or "unspecified" and the "retention_period" parameter can also be set to "infinite". The input parameters are mutually exclusive.
