.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\&.
