 #   A single string, or an array of strings to append to the location directive

 #   each line that requires one.
+# @param rewrite_by_lua
+#   Run the Lua source code inlined as the <rewrite-script-str> at the rewrite
+#   request processing phase. This does not replace the current access logs,
+#   but runs after.
+# @param rewrite_by_lua_file
+#   Equivalent to rewrite_by_lua, except that the file specified by
+#   <path-to-lua-script-file> contains the Lua code, or, as from the v0.5.0rc32
+#   release, the Lua/LuaJIT bytecode to be executed.
 # @param limit_zone
 #   Apply a limit_req_zone to the location. Expects a string indicating a
 #   previously defined limit_req_zone in the main nginx configuration
