Bug ID: 278671
Summary: newsyslog.conf has an incomplete reference regarding
trimming
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---

man 5 newsyslog.d when discussing the size option the text states "...the log
file will be trimmed as described above. If this field contains an
asterisk(`*'), the log file will not be trimmed based on size."
Nothing prior to that statement addresses trimming so it's unclear as to what
the asterisk is meant to do.
I suspect it was meant to be "rotated" rather than "trimmed". This would read
more clearlym, "...the log file will be rotated. If this field contains an
asterisk (`*'), the log file will not be rotated based on size."
