|
||
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 <code class="varname">sd_journal</code> pointer, which on
|
||
success will contain a journal context object. The
|
||
second argument is a flags field, which may consist of
|
||
the following flags ORed together:
|
||
<code class="constant">SD_JOURNAL_LOCAL_ONLY</code> makes sure
|
||
only journal files generated on the local machine will
|
||
be opened. <code class="constant">SD_JOURNAL_RUNTIME_ONLY</code>
|
||
makes sure only volatile journal files will be opened,
|
||
excluding those which are stored on persistent
|
||
storage. <code class="constant">SD_JOURNAL_SYSTEM</code>
|
||
will cause journal files of system services and the
|
||
kernel (in opposition to user session processes) to
|
||
be opened. <code class="constant">SD_JOURNAL_CURRENT_USER</code>
|
||
will cause journal files of the current user to be
|
||
opened. If neither <code class="constant">SD_JOURNAL_SYSTEM</code>
|
||
nor <code class="constant">SD_JOURNAL_CURRENT_USER</code> are
|
||
specified, all journal file types will be opened.</p><p><code class="function">sd_journal_open_directory()</code>
|
||
is similar to <code class="function">sd_journal_open()</code>
|
||
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.</p><p><code class="function">sd_journal_open_files()</code>
|
||
is similar to <code class="function">sd_journal_open()</code>
|
||
but takes a <code class="constant">NULL</code>-terminated list
|
||
of file paths to open. All files 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. Please note
|
||
that in the case of a live journal, this function is only
|
||
useful for debugging, because individual journal files
|
||
can be rotated at any moment, and the opening of
|
||
specific files is inherently racy.</p><p><code class="function">sd_journal_open_container()</code>
|
||
is similar to <code class="function">sd_journal_open()</code>
|
||
but opens the journal files of a running
|
||
OS container. The specified machine name refers to a
|
||
container that is registered with
|
||
<a href="systemd-machined.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">systemd-machined</span>(8)</span></a>.</p><p><code class="varname">sd_journal</code> objects cannot be
|
||
used in the child after a fork. Functions which take a
|
||
journal object as an argument
|
||
(<code class="function">sd_journal_next()</code> and others)
|
||
will return <code class="constant">-ECHILD</code> after a fork.
|
||
</p><p><code class="function">sd_journal_close()</code> will
|
||
close the journal context allocated with
|
||
<code class="function">sd_journal_open()</code> or
|
||
<code class="function">sd_journal_open_directory()</code> and
|
||
free its resources.</p><p>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.</p><p>See
|
||
<a href="sd_journal_next.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">sd_journal_next</span>(3)</span></a>
|
||
for an example of how to iterate through the journal
|
||
after opening it with
|
||
<code class="function">sd_journal_open()</code>.</p><p>A journal context object returned by
|
||
<code class="function">sd_journal_open()</code> references a
|
||
specific journal entry as <span class="emphasis"><em>current</em></span> entry,
|
||
similar to a file seek index in a classic file system
|
||
file, but without absolute positions. It may be
|
||
altered with
|
||
<a href="sd_journal_next.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">sd_journal_next</span>(3)</span></a>
|
||
and
|
||
<a href="sd_journal_seek_head.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">sd_journal_seek_head</span>(3)</span></a>
|
||
and related calls. The current entry position may be
|
||
exported in <span class="emphasis"><em>cursor</em></span> strings, as accessible
|
||
via
|
||
<a href="sd_journal_get_cursor.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">sd_journal_get_cursor</span>(3)</span></a>. 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)
