Truncate the original log file in place after creating a copy, instead 
of moving the old log file and  optionally  creating  a new  one, It can 
be used when some program can not be told to close its logfile and thus 
might continue writing (appending) to the previous log file forever. 
Note that there is a very small time slice between copying the file and 
truncating it, so some logging  data  might  be  lost.  When this option 
is used, the create option will have no effect, as the old log file 
stays in place.
