OT - logrotate size parameter
This is OT, but perhaps someone here knows.
In the context of the logrotate conf file, what does the + sign indicate
when used as a prefix size directive?
Example: "size +4096k"
Some conf files have it, some don't. Man pages do not mention it AFAICT
and the internet is rather seems to ignore it.

Looks like it doesn't mean anything.
The config parsing code ultimately resolves that text to a number here:

stroutll is a standard library function, documented here:
