Let's make things a bit easier to type, drop the systemd- prefix for journalctl and loginctl, but provide the old names for compat. All systemd binaries are hence now prefixed with "systemd-" with the exception of the three primary user interface binaries: systemctl loginctl journalctl For those three we do provide systemd-xyz names as well, via symlinks: systemd-systemctl → systemctl systemd-loginctl → loginctl systemd-journalctl → journalctl We do this only for the *primary* user tools, in order to avoid unnecessary namespace problems. That means tools like systemd-notify stay the way they are.

<para><command>journalctl</command> may be

used to query the contents of the

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>

|
journal.</para>
|

contents of the journal, starting with the oldest

<para>If a match argument is passed the output is

filtered accordingly. A match is in the format

<literal>FIELD=VALUE</literal>,

e.g. <literal>_SYSTEMD_UNIT=httpd.service</literal>.</para>

<para>Output is interleaved from all accessible

journal files, whether they are rotated or currently

being written, and regardless whether they belong to the

system itself or are accessible user journals.</para>

<para>All users are granted access to their private

per-user journals. However, by default only root and

users who are members of the <literal>adm</literal>

journals of other users.</para>
