NAME
       implog - IMP log interpreter

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/implog [ -D ] [ -f ] [ -c ] [ -r ] [ -l [ link ] ] [ -h host# ] [ -i imp# ] [ -t message-type ]

DESCRIPTION
       Implog is program which interprets the message log produced by implogd(8C).

       If  no  arguments are specified, implog interprets and prints every message present in the message file.  Options may be specified to force
       printing only a subset of the logged messages.

       -D     Do not show data messages.

       -f     Follow the logging process in action.  This flags causes implog to print the current contents of the log file, then  check  for  new
	      logged messages every 5 seconds.

       -c     In addition to printing any data messages logged, show the contents of the data in hexadecimal bytes.

       -r     Print the raw imp leader, showing all fields, in addition to the formatted interpretation according to type.

       -l [ link# ]
	      Show  only those messages received on the specified ``link''.  If no value is given for the link, the link number of the IP protocol
	      is assumed.

       -h host#
	      Show only those messages received from the specified host.  (Usually specified in conjunction with an imp.)

       -i imp#
	      Show only those messages received from the specified imp.

       -t message-type
	      Show only those messages received of the specified message type.

BUGS
       Can not specify multiple hosts, imps, etc.  Can not follow reception of messages without looking at those currently in the file.
