Get the value of one or more fields of a given hash key and optionally set their expiration time or time-to-live (TTL).

## Options

The `HGETEX` command supports a set of options:

* `EX seconds` -- Set the specified expiration time, in seconds.
* `PX milliseconds` -- Set the specified expiration time, in milliseconds.
* `EXAT unix-time-seconds` -- Set the specified Unix time at which the fields will expire, in seconds.
* `PXAT unix-time-milliseconds` -- Set the specified Unix time at which the fields will expire, in milliseconds.
* `PERSIST` -- Remove the TTL associated with the fields.

The `EX`, `PX`, `EXAT`, `PXAT`, and `PERSIST` options are mutually exclusive.

## Example

```
redis> HSET mykey field1 "Hello" field2 "World"
(integer) 2
redis> HGETEX mykey EX 120 FIELDS 1 field1
1) "Hello"
redis> HGETEX mykey EX 100 FIELDS 1 field2
1) "World"
redis> HTTL mykey FIELDS 2 field1 field2
1) (integer) 91
2) (integer) 85
redis> HTTL mykey FIELDS 3 field1 field2 field3 
1) (integer) 75
2) (integer) 68
3) (integer) -2
...
redis> HTTL mykey FIELDS 3 field1 field2 
1) (integer) -2
2) (integer) -2
redis> HGETALL mykey
(empty array)
```
