            The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as an RFC
345
 
            3339 duration; for example
346
 
            <quote><literal>P1Y2M3DT4H5M6S</literal></quote> meaning

            one year, two months, three days, four hours, five

            minutes, and six seconds.  Some values can be omitted, see
349
 
            RFC 3339 Appendix A for details.
 
333
            The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
 
334
            space-separated number of values, each of which is a
 
335
            number and a one-character suffix.  The suffix must be one
 
336
            of <quote>d</quote>, <quote>s</quote>, <quote>m</quote>,
 
337
            <quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
 
338
            minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively.  The values are
 
339
            added together to give the total time value, so all of
 
340
            <quote><literal>330s</literal></quote>,

            <quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and
