<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_journal_get_realtime_usec()</function> gets the
realtime (wallclock) timestamp of the current journal entry. It
takes two arguments: the journal context object and a pointer to a
64-bit unsigned integer to store the timestamp in. The timestamp
is in microseconds since the epoch, i.e.
<constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant>.</para>
<para><function>sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec()</function> gets
the monotonic timestamp of the current journal entry. It takes
three arguments: the journal context object, a pointer to a 64-bit
unsigned integer to store the timestamp in, as well as a 128-bit
ID buffer to store the boot ID of the monotonic timestamp. The
timestamp is in microseconds since boot-up of the specific boot,
i.e. <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>. Since the monotonic
clock begins new with every reboot, it only defines a well-defined
point in time when used together with an identifier identifying
the boot. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_get_boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information. If the boot ID parameter is passed
<constant>NULL</constant>, the function will fail if the monotonic
timestamp of the current entry is not of the current system
boot.</para>
<para>Note that these functions will not work before
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
(or related call) has been called at least
once, in order to position the read pointer at a valid entry.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para><function>sd_journal_get_realtime_usec()</function> and
<function>sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec()</function> returns 0 on
success or a negative errno-style error code. If the boot ID
parameter was passed <constant>NULL</constant> and the monotonic
timestamp of the current journal entry is not of the current
system boot, <constant>-ESTALE</constant> is returned by
<function>sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec()</function>.</para>

are available as a shared library, which can be compiled and
