Each log 26entry has a fixed length header of the form: 27.Bd -literal -offset indent 28struct sockstamp { 29 short sin_family; 30 u_short sin_port; 31 struct in_addr sin_addr; 32 time_t sin_time; 33 int sin_len; 34}; 35.Ed 36.Pp 37followed, possibly, by the message received from the 38.Tn IMP . 39Each time the logging process is started up it places a 40time stamp entry in the file (a header with 41.Ar sin_len 42field set to 0). 43.Pp 44The logging process will catch only those messages from the 45.Tn IMP 46which are not processed by a protocol module, e.g. IP. 47This implies the log should contain only status information such 48as 49.Dq Tn IMP No going down 50messages, 51.Dq host down 52and other error messages, 53and, perhaps, stray 54.Tn NCP 55messages. 56.Sh SEE ALSO 57.Xr imp 4 , 58.Xr implog 8 59.Sh HISTORY 60The 61.Nm 62command appeared in 63.Bx 4.2 . 64
