The extensions are date-and-time based, using the strftime format
``%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S`` or a leading portion thereof, depending on the
rollover interval.
+
+ When computing the next rollover time for the first time (when the handler
+ is created), the last modification time of an existing log file, or else
+ the current time, is used to compute when the next rotation will occur.
+
If the *utc* argument is true, times in UTC will be used; otherwise
local time is used.
