17*47469Scael.Nm implogd
18*47469Scael.Sh DESCRIPTION
19*47469Scael.Nm Implogd
20*47469Scaelis program which logs error messages from an
21*47469Scael.Tn IMP ,
2218975Smckusickplacing them in the file
23*47469Scael.Pa /var/log/implog .
24*47469Scael.Pp
2518975SmckusickEntries in the file are variable length.  Each log
2618975Smckusickentry has a fixed length header of the form:
27*47469Scael.Bd -literal -offset indent
2818975Smckusickstruct sockstamp {
2918975Smckusick	short	sin_family;
3018975Smckusick	u_short	sin_port;
3118975Smckusick	struct	in_addr sin_addr;
3218975Smckusick	time_t	sin_time;
3318975Smckusick	int	sin_len;
3418975Smckusick};
35*47469Scael.Ed
36*47469Scael.Pp
37*47469Scaelfollowed, possibly, by the message received from the
38*47469Scael.Tn IMP .
3937280SbosticEach time the logging process is started up it places a
4037280Sbostictime stamp entry in the file (a header with
41*47469Scael.Ar sin_len
4218975Smckusickfield set to 0).
43*47469Scael.Pp
44*47469ScaelThe logging process will catch only those messages from the
45*47469Scael.Tn IMP
4637280Sbosticwhich are not processed by a protocol module, e.g. IP.
4737280SbosticThis implies the log should contain only status information such
