NAME
ssh-agent - authentication agent
SYNOPSIS
ssh-agent [-a bind_address] [-c | -s] [-t life] [-d] [command [args
...]]
ssh-agent [-c | -s] -k
...
-t life
Set a default value for the maximum lifetime of identities
added

time format specified in sshd(8). A lifetime specified for an
identity with ssh-add(1) overrides this value. Without this
op-
tion the default maximum lifetime is forever.
