<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>Similar,
|
|
<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. CLOCK_MONOOTONIC. 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. CLOCK_REALTIME. 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>
