<var>.nnnnnnnnnn</var> is automatically added and is the time in
the current period. For example, if a rotation time of 86400 is
specified, the hour, minute, and second fields created from the

+<p>When using <code>strftime(3)</code> filename formatting,

+<code>/var/logs/errorlog.%Y-%m-%d</code> with log rotation at 5
