<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>sd-journal.h</filename> 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>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_journal_print()</function> may be
used to submit simple, plain text log entries to the
system journal. The first argument is a priority
value. This is followed by a format string and its
parameters, similar to
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
or
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
priority value is one of
<literal>LOG_EMERG</literal>,
<literal>LOG_ALERT</literal>,
<literal>LOG_CRIT</literal>,
<literal>LOG_ERR</literal>,
<literal>LOG_WARNING</literal>,
<literal>LOG_NOTICE</literal>,
<literal>LOG_INFO</literal>,
<literal>LOG_DEBUG</literal>, as defined in
<filename>syslog.h</filename>, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details. It is recommended to use this call to
submit log messages in the application locale or system
locale and in UTF-8 format, but no such restrictions
are enforced.</para>
<para><function>sd_journal_printv()</function> is
similar to <function>sd_journal_print()</function> but
takes a variable argument list encapsulated in an
object of type <literal>va_list</literal> (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>stdarg</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information) instead of the format string. It
is otherwise equivalent in behaviour.</para>
<para><function>sd_journal_send()</function> may be
used to submit structured log entries to the system
journal. It takes a series of format strings, each
immediately followed by their associated parameters,
terminated by a NULL. The strings passed should be of
the format <literal>VARIABLE=value</literal>. The
variable name must be in uppercase and consist only
of characters, numbers and underscores, and may not
begin with an underscore. The value can be of any size
and format. It is highly recommended to submit
text strings formatted in the UTF-8 character encoding
only, and submit binary fields only when formatting in
UTf-8 strings is not sensible. A number of well known
fields are defined, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details, but additional application defined fields
may be used.</para>
<para><function>sd_journal_sendv()</function> is
similar to <function>sd_journal_send()</function> but
takes an array of <literal>struct iovec</literal> (as
defined in <filename>uio.h</filename>, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>readv</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details) instead of the format string. Each
structure should reference one field of the entry to
submit. The second argument specifies the number of
structures in the
array. <function>sd_journal_sendv()</function> is
particularly useful to submit binary objects to the
journal where that is necessary.</para>
<para>Note that <function>sd_journal_send()</function>
is a wapper around
<function>sd_journal_sendv()</function> to make it
easier to use when only text strings shall be
submitted. Also, the following two calls are
mostly equivalent:</para>
<programlisting>sd_journal_print(LOG_INFO, "Hello World, this is PID %lu!", (unsigned long) getpid());
sd_journal_send("MESSAGE=Hello World, this is PID %lu!", (unsigned long) getpid(),
"PRIORITY=%i", LOG_INFO,
NULL);</programlisting>
<para>Note that these calls implicitly add fields for
the source file, function name and code line where
invoked. This is implemented with macros. If this is
not desired it can be turned off by defining
SD_JOURNAL_SUPPRESS_LOCATION before including
<filename>sd-journal.h</filename>.</para>

negative errno-style error code.</para>
