-** This variable is used to ensure that the master journal file name
-** (if any) is only written into the journal file once.
-**
-** When committing a transaction, the master journal file name (if any)
-** may be written into the journal file while the pager is still in
-** PAGER_RESERVED state (see CommitPhaseOne() for the action). It
-** then attempts to upgrade to an exclusive lock. If this attempt
-** fails, then SQLITE_BUSY may be returned to the user and the user
-** may attempt to commit the transaction again later (calling
-** CommitPhaseOne() again). This flag is used to ensure that the
-** master journal name is only written to the journal file the first
-** time CommitPhaseOne() is called.
+** When PagerCommitPhaseOne() is called to commit a transaction, it may
+** (or may not) specify a master-journal name to be written into the
+** journal file before it is synced to disk.
+**
+** Whether or not a journal file contains a master-journal pointer affects
+** the way in which the journal file is finalized after the transaction is
+** committed or rolled back when running in "journal_mode=PERSIST" mode.
+** If a journal file does not contain a master-journal pointer, it is
+** finalized by overwriting the first journal header with zeroes. If,
+** on the other hand, it does contain a master-journal pointer, the
+** journal file is finalized by truncating it to zero bytes, just as if
+** the connection were running in "journal_mode=truncate" mode.
+**
+** Journal files that contain master journal pointers cannot be finalized
+** simply by overwriting the first journal-header with zeroes, as the
+** master journal pointer could interfere with hot-journal rollback of any
+** subsequently interrupted transaction that reuses the journal file.
+**
+** The flag is cleared as soon as the journal file is finalized (either
+** by PagerCommitPhaseTwo or PagerRollback). If an IO error prevents the
+** journal file from being successfully finalized, the setMaster flag
+** is cleared anyway.
