What does the number in the binary log file name mean?

[Lin.Zhong () Dartmouth EDU (Lin Zhong)]

When using -b to log the traffic, the file of the log is named as snort.log.xxxxxxxx, it seems that each time the  
number is not the same. Can anybody tell me what this number stand for? And is there anyway for the user to set the 
file  name of the log file? 

Thank you very much.

Lin
