+Description
+"""""""""""
+
+This command closes the current LAMMPS log file, opens a new file with
+the specified name, and begins logging information to it.  If the
+specified file name is *none*\ , then no new log file is opened.  If the
+optional keyword *append* is specified, then output will be appended
+to an existing log file, instead of overwriting it.
+
+If multiple processor partitions are being used, the file name should
+be a variable, so that different processors do not attempt to write to
+the same log file.
+
+The file "log.lammps" is the default log file for a LAMMPS run.  The
+name of the initial log file can also be set by the command-line
+switch -log.  See :ref:`Section_start 6 <start_7>` for
+details.
