<term><varname>ms</varname></term>
<term><varname>m</varname></term>
<term><varname>us</varname></term></varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>If multiple integers and units are specified the time values are summed up.</para>
<para>The age field only applies to lines starting with d, D and x. If ommited or set to - no automatic clean-up is done.</para>
