<para>Only applies to <literal>_TRANSPORT=stdout</literal> records: indicates that the log message in the
standard output/error stream was not terminated with a normal newline character (<literal>\n</literal>,
i.e. ASCII 10). Specifically, when set this field is one of <option>nul</option> (in case the line was
terminated by a NUL byte), <option>line-max</option> (in case the maximum log line length was reached, as
configured with <varname>LineMax=</varname> in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>journald.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>) or
<option>eof</option> (if this was the last log record of a stream and the stream ended without a final
newline character). Note that this record is not generated when a normal newline character was used for
marking the log line end.</para>
