NAME
sd-journal - APIs for submitting and querying log entries to and from the journal
SYNOPSIS
#include <systemd/sd-journal.h>
pkg-config --cflags --libs libsystemd-journal
DESCRIPTION
sd-journal.h provides APIs to submit and query log entries. The APIs exposed act both as client for the systemd-journald.service(8) journal
service and as parser for the journal files on disk.
See sd_journal_print(3), sd_journal_stream_fd(3), sd_journal_open(3), sd_journal_next(3), sd_journal_get_realtime_usec(3),
sd_journal_add_match(3), sd_journal_seek_head(3), sd_journal_get_cursor(3), sd_journal_cutoff_realtime_usec(3), sd_journal_get_usage(3),
sd_journal_get_catalog(3) and sd_journal_get_fd(3) for more information about the functions implemented.
Command line access for submitting entries to the journal is available with the systemd-cat(1) tool. Command line access for querying
entries from the journal is available with the journalctl(1) tool.
NOTES
These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the libsystemd-journal pkg-config(1) file.
