                     24: .SH SYNOPSIS
                     25: .B implogd
                     26: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     27: .I Implogd
                     28: is program which logs error messages from the IMP,
                     29: placing them in the file
                     30: .IR /var/log/implog .
                     31: .PP
                     32: Entries in the file are variable length.  Each log
                     33: entry has a fixed length header of the form:
                     34: .PP
                     35: .ta 0.5i 1.0i 1.5i
                     36: .nf
                     37: struct sockstamp {
                     38:        short   sin_family;
                     39:        u_short sin_port;
                     40:        struct  in_addr sin_addr;
                     41:        time_t  sin_time;
                     42:        int     sin_len;
                     43: };
                     44: .fi
                     45: .PP
                     46: followed, possibly, by the message received from the IMP.
                     47: Each time the logging process is started up it places a
                     48: time stamp entry in the file (a header with
                     49: .I sin_len
                     50: field set to 0).
                     51: .PP
                     52: The logging process will catch only those message from the IMP
                     53: which are not processed by a protocol module, e.g. IP.
                     54: This implies the log should contain only status information such
                     55: as ``IMP going down'' messages, ``host down'' and other error messages,
                     56: and, perhaps, stray NCP messages.
