 @item Expire-Date: @var{iso-date}|(@var{number}[d|w|m|y])
 Set the expiration date for the key (and the subkey).  It may either
-be entered in ISO date format (2000-08-15) or as number of days,
-weeks, month or years.  The special notation "seconds=N" is also
-allowed to directly give an Epoch value. Without a letter days are
-assumed.  Note that there is no check done on the overflow of the type
-used by OpenPGP for timestamps.  Thus you better make sure that the
-given value make sense.  Although OpenPGP works with time intervals,
-GnuPG uses an absolute value internally and thus the last year we can
-represent is 2105.
