                     17: .I Implogd
                     18: is program which logs error messages from the IMP,
                     19: placing them in the file
                     20: .IR /usr/adm/implog .
                     21: .PP
                     22: Entries in the file are variable length.  Each log
                     23: entry has a fixed length header of the form:
                     24: .PP
                     25: .ta 0.5i 1.0i 1.5i

                     28:        short   sin_family;
                     29:        u_short sin_port;
                     30:        struct  in_addr sin_addr;
                     31:        time_t  sin_time;
                     32:        int     sin_len;
                     33: };
                     34: .fi
                     35: .PP
                     36: followed, possibly, by the message received from the 
                     37: IMP.  Each time the logging process is started up it
                     38: places a time stamp entry in the file (a header with
                     39: .I sin_len
                     40: field set to 0).
                     41: .PP
                     42: The logging process will catch only those message from
                     43: the IMP which are not processed by a protocol module,
                     44: e.g. IP.  This implies the log should contain only
                     45: status information such as ``IMP going down'' messages,
                     46: ``host down'' and other error messages,
                     47: and, perhaps, stray NCP messages.
