<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_get_cursor()</function>
|
|
returns a cursor string for the current journal
|
|
entry. A cursor is a serialization of the current
|
|
journal position in text form. The string only
|
|
contains printable characters and can be passed around
|
|
in text form. The cursor identifies a journal entry
|
|
globally and in a stable way and may be used to later
|
|
seek to it via
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_seek_cursor</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
|
|
cursor string should be considered opaque and not be
|
|
parsed by clients. Seeking to a cursor position
|
|
without the specific entry being available locally
|
|
will seek to the next closest (in terms of time)
|
|
available entry. The call takes two arguments: a
|
|
journal context object and a pointer to a
|
|
string pointer where the cursor string will be
|
|
placed. The string is allocated via libc <citerefentry><refentrytitle>malloc</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> and should
|
|
be freed after use with
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

<para>Note that this function will not work before

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
(or related call) has been called at least
|
|
once, in order to position the read pointer at a valid entry.</para>
