SD_JOURNAL_GET_REALTIME_USEC(3) 			   sd_journal_get_realtime_usec 			   SD_JOURNAL_GET_REALTIME_USEC(3)

NAME
sd_journal_get_realtime_usec, sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec - Read timestamps from the current journal entry SYNOPSIS
#include <systemd/sd-journal.h> int sd_journal_get_realtime_usec(sd_journal* j, uint64_t* usec); int sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec(sd_journal* j, uint64_t* usec, sd_id128_t* boot_id); DESCRIPTION
sd_journal_get_realtime_usec() gets the realtime (wallclock) timestamp of the current journal entry. It takes two arguments: the journal context object and a pointer to a 64-bit unsigned integer to store the timestamp in. The timestamp is in microseconds since the epoch, i.e. CLOCK_REALTIME. sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec() gets the monotonic timestamp of the current journal entry. It takes three arguments: the journal context object, a pointer to a 64-bit unsigned integer to store the timestamp in, as well as a 128-bit ID buffer to store the boot ID of the monotonic timestamp. The timestamp is in microseconds since boot-up of the specific boot, i.e. CLOCK_MONOTONIC. Since the monotonic clock begins new with every reboot, it only defines a well-defined point in time when used together with an identifier identifying the boot. See sd_id128_get_boot(3) for more information. If the boot ID parameter is passed NULL, the function will fail if the monotonic timestamp of the current entry is not of the current system boot. Note that these functions will not work before sd_journal_next(3) (or related call) has been called at least once, in order to position the read pointer at a valid entry. RETURN VALUE
sd_journal_get_realtime_usec() and sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec() returns 0 on success or a negative errno-style error code. If the boot ID parameter was passed NULL and the monotonic timestamp of the current journal entry is not of the current system boot, -ESTALE is returned by sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec(). NOTES
The sd_journal_get_realtime_usec() and sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec() interfaces are available as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the libsystemd-journal pkg-config(1) file. SEE ALSO

NAME
sd_journal_next, sd_journal_previous, sd_journal_next_skip, sd_journal_previous_skip, SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH, SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_BACKWARDS - Advance or set back the read pointer in the journal SYNOPSIS
#include <systemd/sd-journal.h> int sd_journal_next(sd_journal* j); int sd_journal_previous(sd_journal* j); int sd_journal_next_skip(sd_journal* j, uint64_t skip); int sd_journal_previous_skip(sd_journal* j, uint64_t skip); SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH(sd_journal* j); SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_BACKWARDS(sd_journal* j); DESCRIPTION
sd_journal_next() advances the read pointer into the journal by one entry. The only argument taken is a journal context object as allocated via sd_journal_open(3). After successful invocation the entry may be read with functions such as sd_journal_get_data(3). Similarly, sd_journal_previous() sets the read pointer back one entry. sd_journal_next_skip() and sd_journal_previous_skip() advance/set back the read pointer by multiple entries at once, as specified in the skip parameter. The journal is strictly ordered by reception time, and hence advancing to the next entry guarantees that the entry then pointing to is later in time than then previous one, or has the same timestamp. Note that sd_journal_get_data(3) and related calls will fail unless sd_journal_next() has been invoked at least once in order to position the read pointer on a journal entry. Note that the SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH() macro may be used as a wrapper around sd_journal_seek_head(3) and sd_journal_next() in order to make iterating through the journal easier. See below for an example. Similarly, SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_BACKWARDS() may be used for iterating the journal in reverse order. RETURN VALUE
The four calls return the number of entries advanced/set back on success or a negative errno-style error code. When the end or beginning of the journal is reached, a number smaller than requested is returned. More specifically, if sd_journal_next() or sd_journal_previous() reach the end/beginning of the journal they will return 0, instead of 1 when they are successful. This should be considered an EOF marker. NOTES
The sd_journal_next(), sd_journal_previous(), sd_journal_next_skip() and sd_journal_previous_skip() interfaces are available as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the libsystemd-journal pkg-config(1) file. EXAMPLES
Iterating through the journal: #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <systemd/sd-journal.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int r; sd_journal *j; r = sd_journal_open(&j, SD_JOURNAL_LOCAL_ONLY); if (r < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Failed to open journal: %s ", strerror(-r)); return 1; } SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH(j) { const char *d; size_t l; r = sd_journal_get_data(j, "MESSAGE", &d, &l); if (r < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Failed to read message field: %s ", strerror(-r)); continue; } printf("%.*s ", (int) l, d); } sd_journal_close(j); return 0; } SEE ALSO
