+
+<dl>
+
+<dt><code>-l</code></dt>
+<dd>Causes the use of local time rather than GMT as the base for the
+interval or for <code>strftime(3)</code> formatting with size-based
+rotation.</dd>
+
+<dt><code>-L</code> <var>linkname</var></dt>
+<dd><p>Causes a hard link to be made from the current logfile
+to the specified link name.  This can be used to watch
+the log continuously across rotations using a command like
+<code>tail -F linkname</code>.</p>
+<p>If the linkname is not an absolute
+path, it is relative to <code>rotatelogs</code>' working directory,
+which is the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a></code> when
+<code>rotatelogs</code> is run by the server.  
+</p>
+</dd>
+
+<dt><code>-p</code> <var>program</var></dt>
+
+<dd>If given, <code>rotatelogs</code> will execute the specified
+program every time a new log file is opened.  The filename of the
+newly opened file is passed as the first argument to the program.  If
+executing after a rotation, the old log file is passed as the second
+argument.  <code>rotatelogs</code> does not wait for the specified
+program to terminate before continuing to operate, and will not log
+any error code returned on termination.  The spawned program uses the
+same stdin, stdout, and stderr as rotatelogs itself, and also inherits
+the environment.</dd>
+
+<dt><code>-f</code></dt>
+<dd>Causes the logfile to be opened immediately, as soon as
+<code>rotatelogs</code> starts, instead of waiting for the
+first logfile entry to be read (for non-busy sites, there may be
+a substantial delay between when the server is started
+and when the first request is handled, meaning that the
+associated logfile does not "exist" until then, which
+causes problems from some automated logging tools)</dd>
+
+<dt><code>-D</code></dt>
+<dd>Creates the parent directories of the path that the log file will be
+placed in if they do not already exist.  This allows <code>strftime(3)</code>
+formatting to be used in the path and not just the filename.</dd>
+
+<dt><code>-t</code></dt>
+<dd>Causes the logfile to be truncated instead of rotated. This is
+useful when a log is processed in real time by a command like tail,
+and there is no need for archived data. No suffix will be added to
+the filename, however format strings containing '%' characters
+will be respected.
+</dd>
+
+<dt><code>-T</code></dt>
+<dd>Causes all but the initial logfile to be truncated when opened.
+This is useful when the format string contains something that will
+loop around, such as the day of the month. Available in 2.4.56 and later.
+</dd>
+
+
+<dt><code>-v</code></dt>
+<dd>Produce verbose output on STDERR. The output contains
+the result of the configuration parsing, and all file open and
+close actions.</dd>
+
+<dt><code>-e</code></dt>
+<dd>Echo logs through to stdout. Useful when logs need to be further
+processed in real time by a further tool in the chain.</dd>
+
+<dt><code>-c</code></dt>
+<dd>Create log file for each interval, even if empty.</dd>
+
+<dt><code>-n <var>number-of-files</var></code></dt>
+<dd>Use a circular list of filenames without timestamps. This option overwrites 
+log files at startup and during rotation.  With -n 3, the series of log 
+files opened would be "logfile", "logfile.1", "logfile.2", then overwriting 
+"logfile". 
+<br />
+When this program first opens "logfile", the file will only be truncated if <code>-t</code> is also provided. Every subsequent rotation will
+always begin with truncation of the target file.  For size based rotation without <code>-t</code> and existing log files in place,
+this option may result in unintuitive behavior such as initial log entries being sent to "logfile.1", and entries in "logfile.1" not being preserved
+even if later "logfile.n" have not yet been used.
+<br />
+Available in 2.4.5 and later.</dd>
+
+<dt><code><var>logfile</var></code></dt>
+
+<dd><p>The path plus basename of the logfile.  If <var>logfile</var>
+includes any '%' characters, it is treated as a format string for
+<code>strftime(3)</code>.  Otherwise, the suffix
+<var>.nnnnnnnnnn</var> is automatically added and is the time in
+seconds (unless the -t option is used). Both formats compute the
+start time from the beginning of the current period.  For example,
+if a rotation time of 86400 is specified, the hour, minute, and
+second fields created from the <code>strftime(3)</code> format will
+all be zero, referring to the beginning of the current 24-hour
+period (midnight).</p>
+<p>When using <code>strftime(3)</code> filename formatting,
+be sure the log file format has enough granularity to produce
+a different file name each time the logs are rotated.  Otherwise
+rotation will overwrite the same file instead of starting a new
+one.  For example, if <var>logfile</var> was
+<code>/var/log/errorlog.%Y-%m-%d</code> with log rotation at 5
+megabytes, but 5 megabytes was reached twice in the same day, the
+same log file name would be produced and log rotation would keep
+writing to the same file.</p>
+<p>If the logfile is not an absolute
+path, it is relative to <code>rotatelogs</code>' working directory,
+which is the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a></code> when
+<code>rotatelogs</code> is run by the server.
+</p>
+</dd>
+
+<dt><code><var>rotationtime</var></code></dt>
+
+<dd>The time between log file rotations in seconds.  The rotation
+occurs at the beginning of this interval.  For example, if the
+rotation time is 3600, the log file will be rotated at the beginning
+of every hour; if the rotation time is 86400, the log file will be
+rotated every night at midnight.  (If no data is logged during an
+interval, no file will be created.)</dd>
+
+<dt><code><var>filesize</var>(B|K|M|G)</code></dt>
+
+<dd>The maximum file size in followed by exactly one of the letters
+<code>B</code> (Bytes), <code>K</code> (KBytes), <code>M</code> (MBytes)
+or <code>G</code> (GBytes).
+<p>
+When time and size are specified, the size must be given after the time.
+Rotation will occur whenever either time or size limits are reached.
+</p>
+</dd>
+
+<dt><code><var>offset</var></code></dt>
+
+<dd>The number of minutes offset from UTC.  If omitted, zero is
+assumed and UTC is used.  For example, to use local time in the zone
+UTC -5 hours, specify a value of <code>-300</code> for this argument.
+In most cases, <code>-l</code> should be used instead of specifying
+an offset.</dd>

+</div>
+
+     <p>This creates the files /var/log/logfile.nnnn where nnnn  is
+     the system time at which the log nominally starts (this time
+     will always be a multiple of the rotation time, so  you  can
+     synchronize cron scripts with it).  At the end of each rotation
+     time (here after 24 hours) a new log is started.</p>
+
+<div class="example"><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs -l /var/log/logfile.%Y.%m.%d 86400" common</pre>
+</div>
+
+     <p>This creates the files /var/log/logfile.yyyy.mm.dd where
+     yyyy is the year, mm is the month, and dd is the day of the month.
+     Logging will switch to a new file every day at midnight, local time.</p>
+
+<div class="example"><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs /var/log/logfile 5M" common</pre>
+</div>
+
+     <p>This configuration will rotate the logfile whenever it reaches
+     a size of 5 megabytes.</p>
+
+<div class="example"><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ErrorLog "|bin/rotatelogs /var/log/errorlog.%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S 5M"</pre>
+</div>
+     <p>This configuration will rotate the error logfile whenever it
+     reaches a size of 5 megabytes, and the suffix to the logfile name
+     will be created of the form
+     <code>errorlog.YYYY-mm-dd-HH_MM_SS</code>.</p>
+
+<div class="example"><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs -t /var/log/logfile 86400" common</pre>
+</div>
+
+     <p>This creates the file <code>/var/log/logfile</code>, truncating the file at
+     startup and then truncating the file once per day. It is expected
+     in this scenario that a separate process (such as tail) would
+     process the file in real time.</p>
+
+<div class="example"><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs -T /var/log/logfile.%d 86400" common</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>If the server is started (or restarted) on the first of the month, this 
+appends to <code>/var/log/logfile.01</code>.  When a log entry is written on the
+second of the month, <code>/var/log/logfile.02</code> is truncated and new entries
+will be added to the top. This example keeps approximately 1 months worth of 
+logs without external maintenance.</p>
