object associated with a specific field from the current journal
entry. It takes four arguments: the journal context object, a
string with the field name to request, plus a pair of pointers to
pointer/size variables where the data object and its size shall be
stored in. The field name should be an entry field name.
Well-known field names are listed in
<a href="systemd.journal-fields.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">systemd.journal-fields</span>(7)</span></a>.
The returned data is in a read-only memory map and is only valid
until the next invocation of
<code class="function">sd_journal_get_data()</code> or
<code class="function">sd_journal_enumerate_data()</code>, or the read
pointer is altered. Note that the data returned will be prefixed
with the field name and '='. Also note that by default data fields
larger than 64K might get truncated to 64K. This threshold may be
changed and turned off with
<code class="function">sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</code> (see
below).</p><p><code class="function">sd_journal_enumerate_data()</code> may be used
to iterate through all fields of the current entry. On each
invocation the data for the next field is returned. The order of
these fields is not defined. The data returned is in the same
format as with <code class="function">sd_journal_get_data()</code> and also
follows the same life-time semantics.</p><p><code class="function">sd_journal_restart_data()</code> resets the
data enumeration index to the beginning of the entry. The next
invocation of <code class="function">sd_journal_enumerate_data()</code>
will return the first field of the entry again.</p><p>Note that the <code class="function">SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_DATA()</code>
macro may be used as a handy wrapper around
<code class="function">sd_journal_restart_data()</code> and
<code class="function">sd_journal_enumerate_data()</code>.</p><p>Note that these functions will not work before
<a href="sd_journal_next.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">sd_journal_next</span>(3)</span></a>
(or related call) has been called at least once, in order to
position the read pointer at a valid entry.</p><p><code class="function">sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</code> may be
used to change the data field size threshold for data returned by
<code class="function">sd_journal_get_data()</code>,
<code class="function">sd_journal_enumerate_data()</code> and
<code class="function">sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</code>. This threshold
is a hint only: it indicates that the client program is interested
only in the initial parts of the data fields, up to the threshold
in size -- but the library might still return larger data objects.
That means applications should not rely exclusively on this
setting to limit the size of the data fields returned, but need to
apply a explicit size limit on the returned data as well. This
threshold defaults to 64K by default. To retrieve the complete
data fields this threshold should be turned off by setting it to
0, so that the library always returns the complete data objects.
It is recommended to set this threshold as low as possible since
this relieves the library from having to decompress large
compressed data objects in full.</p><p><code class="function">sd_journal_get_data_threshold()</code> returns
the currently configured data field size threshold.</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a name="idm139825930490992"></a><h2 id="Return Value">Return Value<a class="headerlink" title="Permalink to this headline" href="#Return%20Value"></a></h2><p><code class="function">sd_journal_get_data()</code> returns 0 on

has not been called at least once, -EADDRNOTAVAIL is returned.
<code class="function">sd_journal_enumerate_data()</code> returns a
positive integer if the next field has been read, 0 when no more
fields are known, or a negative errno-style error code.
