Before libsystemd-daemon, libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-id128, etc., were merged into libsystemd, it was enough to have individual man pages for them. But they have been delivered as one thing for many years, so it's better to have a landing page for libsystemd. It mostly directs to individual pages anyway.

<para><filename>sd-journal.h</filename> is part of
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>libsystemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
|
|
provides APIs to submit and query log entries. The APIs exposed act both as client for the
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-journald.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
journal service and as parser for the journal files on disk.

<title>Thread safety</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Functions that operate on <structname>sd_journal</structname> objects are thread agnostic — given
|
|
<structname>sd_journal</structname> pointer may only be used from one specific thread at all times (and it has to
|
|
be the very same one during the entire lifetime of the object), but multiple, independent threads may use multiple,
|
|
independent objects safely. Other functions — those that are used to send entries to the journal, like
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_print</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> and similar,
|
|
or those that are used to retrieve global information like
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_stream_fd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
— are fully thread-safe and may be called from multiple threads in parallel.</para>
