Yeah, that valuable name is very confusing. :-<
Anyway thanks to fixing this.

Yes, it is. It is similarly used as the previous parameter, nmc.
nmc tells the number of mirrors which will be removed. So as for
nlc, it is easier to think nlc the log number which should be removed.
(0: not removed, 1: removed)
