| 10 | implogd \- IMP logger process | |
| 11 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| 12 | .B /etc/implogd | |
| 13 | [ | |
| 14 | .B \-d | |

| 16 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 17 | .I Implogd | |
| 63c183b7 | 18 | is program which logs error messages from the IMP, |
| c0c5c666 KM |
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 | |
| 26 | .nf | |
| 27 | struct sockstamp { | |
| 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 | |
| 63c183b7 MK |
45 | status information such as ``IMP going down'' messages, |
| 46 | ``host down'' and other error messages, | |
| c0c5c666 KM |
47 | and, perhaps, stray NCP messages. |
