21 __rotatelogs__ is a simple program for use in conjunction
22 with Apache's piped logfile feature which can be used like
23 this:

29 This creates the files /path/to/logs/access.log.nnnn where
30 nnnn is the system time at which the log nominally starts
31 (this time will always be a multiple of the rotation time,
32 so you can synchronize cron scripts with it). At the end of
33 each rotation time (here after 24 hours) a new log is
34 started.

41 The path plus basename of the logfile. If __logfile__
42 includes any __%__ characters, it is treated as a format
43 string for ''strftime(3)''. Otherwise, the suffix .nnnn
44 is automatically added and is the time at which the logfile
45 was created.

51 The rotation time in seconds.

54 ''offset''
55
56
57 The number of minutes offset from UTC. If omitted, zero is
58 assumed and UTC is used. For example, to use local time in
59 the zone UTC -5 hours, specify a value of ''-300'' for
60 this argument.
