 a non-zero value of AppRotateBytesHigh.
 
+If AppRotateDelay is non-zero, NSSM will pause for the given number of

+If AppStdoutCopyAndTruncate or AppStdErrCopyAndTruncate are non-zero, the
+stdout (or stderr respectively) file will be rotated by first taking a copy
+of the file then truncating the original file to zero size.  This allows
+NSSM to rotate files which are held open by other processes, preventing the
+usual MoveFile() from succeeding.  Note that the copy process may take some
+time if the file is large, and will temporarily consume twice as much disk
+space as the original file.  Note also that applications reading the log file
+may not notice that the file size changed.  Using this option in conjunction
+with AppRotateDelay may help in that case.

 Rotation is independent of the CreateFile() parameters used to open the files.
 They will be rotated regardless of whether NSSM would otherwise have appended
 or replaced them.

 Thanks to Sam Townsend for noticing a regression with TerminateProcess().
 Thanks to Barrett Lewis for suggesting the option to skip terminating the
 application's child processes.
+Thanks to Miguel Angel Terrón for suggesting copy/truncate rotation.
