<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_next()</function> advances the read
|
|
|
|
pointer into the journal by one entry. The only argument taken is
|
|
|
|
a journal context object as allocated via
|
|
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_open</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
|
|
After successful invocation the entry may be read with functions
|
|
|
|
such as
|
|
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_get_data</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>Similarly, <function>sd_journal_previous()</function> sets
|
|
|
|
the read pointer back one entry.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_next_skip()</function> and
|
2020-11-09 06:23:32 +00:00
|
|
|
<function>sd_journal_previous_skip()</function> advance/set back the read pointer by multiple
|
|
|
|
entries at once, as specified in the <varname>skip</varname> parameter. The <varname>skip</varname>
|
2021-12-17 10:23:28 +00:00
|
|
|
parameter must be less than or equal to 2147483647 (2³¹-1).</para>
|
2015-02-04 02:14:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>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.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that
|
|
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_get_data</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
|
|
and related calls will fail unless
|
|
|
|
<function>sd_journal_next()</function> has been invoked at least
|
|
|
|
once in order to position the read pointer on a journal
|
|
|
|
entry.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that the <function>SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH()</function>
|
|
|
|
macro may be used as a wrapper around
|
|
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_seek_head</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
|
|
and <function>sd_journal_next()</function> in order to make
|
|
|
|
iterating through the journal easier. See below for an example.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, <function>SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_BACKWARDS()</function> may
|
|
|
|
be used for iterating the journal in reverse order.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>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
|
|
|
|
<function>sd_journal_next()</function> or
|
|
|
|
<function>sd_journal_previous()</function> 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.</para>
