33               Rotates a local (*and only local*) log file specified by PATH.

35       trace   Manipulates  the  tracing mechanism. TRACE should be the string
36               that specifies the modules to be traced, and Cherokee must have
37               been  compiled with the --enable-trace option for this to work.
38               Everything traceable with CHEROKEE_TRACE  can  also  be  traced
39               this way.
