Lennart Poettering 0c69794138 tree-wide: remove Lennart's copyright lines
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_journal_get_catalog()</function> retrieves a
message catalog entry for the current journal entry. This will
look up an entry in the message catalog by using the
<literal>MESSAGE_ID=</literal> field of the current journal entry.
Before returning the entry all journal field names in the catalog
entry text enclosed in "@" will be replaced by the respective
field values of the current entry. If a field name referenced in
the message catalog entry does not exist, in the current journal
entry, the "@" will be removed, but the field name otherwise left
untouched.</para>
<para><function>sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id()</function>
works similar to <function>sd_journal_get_catalog()</function> but
the entry is looked up by the specified message ID (no open
journal context is necessary for this), and no field substitution
is performed.</para>
<para>For more information about the journal message catalog
please refer to the <ulink
url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/catalog">Journal
Message Catalogs</ulink> documentation page.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para><function>sd_journal_get_catalog()</function> and
<function>sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id()</function>
return 0 on success or a negative errno-style error code. If no
matching message catalog entry is found, -ENOENT is
returned.</para>
<para>On successful return, <parameter>ret</parameter> points to a
new string, which must be freed with
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

single thread may operate on a given <structname>sd_journal</structname> object. Function
<function>sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id()</function> is thread-safe.</para>
