This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together. Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to change bits that are part of our copyright header for that. hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a bit.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_seek_head()</function> seeks to the
|
|
beginning of the journal, i.e. the oldest available entry.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Similarly, <function>sd_journal_seek_tail()</function> may
|
|
be used to seek to the end of the journal, i.e. the most recent
|
|
available entry.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_seek_monotonic_usec()</function> seeks
|
|
to the entry with the specified monotonic timestamp, i.e.
|
|
<constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>. Since monotonic time
|
|
restarts on every reboot a boot ID needs to be specified as
|
|
well.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_seek_realtime_usec()</function> seeks
|
|
to the entry with the specified realtime (wallclock) timestamp,
|
|
i.e. <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant>. Note that the realtime
|
|
clock is not necessarily monotonic. If a realtime timestamp is
|
|
ambiguous, it is not defined which position is sought to.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_seek_cursor()</function> seeks to the
|
|
entry located at the specified cursor string. For details on
|
|
cursors, see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_get_cursor</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
If no entry matching the specified cursor is found the call will
|
|
seek to the next closest entry (in terms of time) instead. To
|
|
verify whether the newly selected entry actually matches the
|
|
cursor, use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_test_cursor</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that these calls do not actually make any entry the new
|
|
current entry, this needs to be done in a separate step with a
|
|
subsequent
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
invocation (or a similar call). Only then, entry data may be
|
|
retrieved via
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_get_data</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
If no entry exists that matches exactly the specified seek
|
|
address, the next closest is sought to. If
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
is used, the closest following entry will be sought to, if
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_previous</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
is used the closest preceding entry is sought to.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>

<para>The functions return 0 on success or a negative errno-style
|
|
error code.</para>
