<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_journal_stream_fd()</function> may
be used to create a log stream file descriptor. Log
messages written to this file descriptor as simple
newline-separated text strings are written to the
journal. This file descriptor can be used internally
by applications or be made standard output or standard
error of other processes executed.</para>
<para><function>sd_journal_stream_fd()</function>
takes a short program identifier string as first
argument, which will be written to the journal as
_SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER= field for each log entry (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information). The second argument shall be
the default priority level for all messages. The
priority level is one of <constant>LOG_EMERG</constant>,
<constant>LOG_ALERT</constant>,
<constant>LOG_CRIT</constant>,
<constant>LOG_ERR</constant>,
<constant>LOG_WARNING</constant>,
<constant>LOG_NOTICE</constant>,
<constant>LOG_INFO</constant>,
<constant>LOG_DEBUG</constant>, as defined in
<filename>syslog.h</filename>, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details. The third argument is a boolean: if true
kernel-style log priority level prefixes (such as
<constant>SD_WARNING</constant>) are interpreted, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-daemon</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information.</para>
<para>It is recommended that applications log UTF-8
messages only with this API, but this is not
enforced.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>The call returns a valid write-only file descriptor on success or a
negative errno-style error code.</para>

<para>The <function>sd_journal_stream_fd()</function>
interface is available as a shared library, which can
be compiled and linked to with the
