C 5 NAME
implogd - IMP logger process
SYNOPSIS
implogd DESCRIPTION
Implogd is program which logs error messages from the IMP,
placing them in the file
/var/log/implog . Entries in the file are variable length. Each log entry has a fixed length header of the form:
struct sockstamp { short sin_family; u_short sin_port; struct in_addr sin_addr; time_t sin_time; int sin_len; };
followed, possibly, by the message received from the IMP. Each time the logging process is started up it places a time stamp entry in the file (a header with sin_len field set to 0).
The logging process will catch only those message from the IMP which are not processed by a protocol module, e.g. IP. This implies the log should contain only status information such as ``IMP going down'' messages, ``host down'' and other error messages, and, perhaps, stray NCP messages.
