NAME
       implogd - IMP logger process

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/implogd [ -d ]

DESCRIPTION
       Implogd is program which logs error messages from the IMP, placing them in the file /usr/adm/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.
