-- The name or ID of the organization the bucket belongs to
-- A retention period in nanoseconds
+- bucket name
+- organization name or ID
+- retention period duration (`ns`, `us`, `ms`, `s`, or `h`)

 # Syntax
-influx bucket create -n <bucket-name> -o <org-name> -r <retention period in nanoseconds>
+influx bucket create -n <bucket-name> -o <org-name> -r <retention-period-duration>
