+.SH NAME
+rotatelogs \- Piped logging program to rotate Apache logs
+
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"

+
+
+.SH "SUMMARY"
+
+.PP
+rotatelogs is a simple program for use in conjunction with Apache's piped logfile feature\&. For example:
+
+.nf
+
+ CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs /var/logs/logfile 86400" common
+
+.fi
+
+.PP
+This creates the files /var/logs/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\&.
+
+.nf
+
+ CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs /var/logs/logfile 5M" common
+
+.fi
+
+.PP
+This configuration will rotate the logfile whenever it reaches a size of 5 megabytes\&.
+
+.nf
+
+ ErrorLog "|bin/rotatelogs /var/logs/errorlog\&.%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S 5M"
+
+.fi
+
+.PP
+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 errorlog\&.YYYY-mm-dd-HH_MM_SS\&.
+
+
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+
+
+.TP
+-l (\fI2\&.0\&.51 and later\fR)
+Causes the use of local time rather than GMT as the base for the interval\&. Note that using -l in an environment which changes the GMT offset (such as for BST or DST) can lead to unpredictable results!
+.TP
+\fIlogfile\fR
+The path plus basename of the logfile\&. If \fIlogfile\fR includes any '%' characters, it is treated as a format string for strftime(3)\&. Otherwise, the suffix \fI\&.nnnnnnnnnn\fR is automatically added and is the time in seconds\&. Both formats compute the start time from the beginning of the current period\&.
+.TP
+\fIrotationtime\fR
+The time between log file rotations in seconds\&.
+.TP
+\fIoffset\fR
+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 -300 for this argument\&.
+.TP
+\fIfilesize\fRM
+The maximum file size in megabytes followed by the letter M to specify size rather than time\&. Use this parameter in place of both rotationtime and offset\&.
+
+.SH "PORTABILITY"
+
+.PP
+The following logfile format string substitutions should be supported by all strftime(3) implementations, see the strftime(3) man page for library-specific extensions\&.
