 Causes the use of local time rather than GMT as the base for the interval or for strftime(3) formatting with size-based rotation\&. Note that using -l in an environment which changes the GMT offset (such as for BST or DST) can lead to unpredictable results!

+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\&.

 \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\&. In most cases, -l should be used instead of specifying an offset\&.
