+<li><b>$OMFileAsyncWriting</b> [on/<b>off</b>], if turned on, the files will be written
+in asynchronous mode via a separate thread. In that case, double buffers will be used so
+that one buffer can be filled while the other buffer is being written. Note that in order
+to enable $OMFileFlushInterval, $OMFileAsyncWriting must be set to "on". Otherwise, the flush
+interval will be ignored. Also note that when $OMFileFlushOnTXEnd is "on" but
+$OMFileAsyncWriting is off, output will only be written when the buffer is full. This may take
+several hours, or even require a rsyslog shutdown. However, a buffer flush can be forced
+in that case by sending rsyslogd a HUP signal.
<li><b>$OMFileZipLevel</b> 0..9 [default 0] - if greater 0, turns on gzip compression
of the output file. The higher the number, the better the compression, but also the
more CPU is required for zipping.</li>
