<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_open()</function> opens the
|
|
the log journal for reading. It will find all journal
|
|
files automatically and interleave them automatically
|
|
when reading. As first argument it takes a pointer to
|
|
a <literal>sd_journal</literal> pointer, which on
|
|
success will contain journal context object afterwards. The
|
|
second argument is a flags field, which may consist of
|
|
the following flags ORed together:
|
|
<literal>SD_JOURNAL_LOCAL_ONLY</literal> makes sure
|
|
only journal files generated on the local machine will
|
|
be opened. <literal>SD_JOURNAL_RUNTIME_ONLY</literal>
|
|
makes sure only volatile journal files will be opened,
|
|
excluding those which are stored on persistent
|
|
storage. <literal>SD_JOURNAL_SYSTEM_ONLY</literal>
|
|
will ensure that only journal files of system services
|
|
and the kernel (in opposition to user session processes) will
|
|
be opened.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_open_directory()</function>
|
|
is similar to <function>sd_journal_open()</function>
|
|
but takes an absolute directory path as argument. All
|
|
journal files in this directory will be opened and
|
|
interleaved automatically. This call also takes a
|
|
flags argument, but it must be passed as 0 as no flags
|
|
are currently understood for this call.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_close()</function> will
|
|
close the journal context allocated with
|
|
<function>sd_journal_open()</function> or
|
|
<function>sd_journal_open_directory()</function> and
|
|
free its resources.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When opening the journal only journal files
|
|
accessible to the calling user will be opened. If
|
|
journal files are not accessible to the caller this
|
|
will be silently ignored.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for an example how to iterate through the journal
|
|
after opening it it with
|
|
<function>sd_journal_open()</function>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>A journal context object returned by
|
|
<function>sd_journal_open()</function> references a
|
|
specific journal entry as <emphasis>current</emphasis> entry,
|
|
similar to a file seek index in a classic file system
|
|
file, but without absolute positions. It may be
|
|
altered with
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
and
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_seek_head</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
and related calls. The current entry position may be
|
|
exported in <emphasis>cursor</emphasis> strings, as accessible
|
|
via
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_get_cursor</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Cursor
|
|
strings may be used to globally identify a specific
|
|
journal entry in a stable way and then later to seek
|
|
to it (or if the specific entry is not available
|
|
locally, to its closest entry in time)
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_seek_cursor</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

<function>sd_journal_get_fd()</function> and related
|
|
calls.</para>
