<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_get_data()</function> gets the data
|
|
object associated with a specific field from the current journal
|
|
entry. It takes four arguments: the journal context object, a
|
|
string with the field name to request, plus a pair of pointers to
|
|
pointer/size variables where the data object and its size shall be
|
|
stored in. The field name should be an entry field name.
|
|
Well-known field names are listed in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
The returned data is in a read-only memory map and is only valid
|
|
until the next invocation of
|
|
<function>sd_journal_get_data()</function> or
|
|
<function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function>, or the read
|
|
pointer is altered. Note that the data returned will be prefixed
|
|
with the field name and '='. Also note that, by default, data fields
|
|
larger than 64K might get truncated to 64K. This threshold may be
|
|
changed and turned off with
|
|
<function>sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</function> (see
|
|
below).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function> may be used
|
|
to iterate through all fields of the current entry. On each
|
|
invocation the data for the next field is returned. The order of
|
|
these fields is not defined. The data returned is in the same
|
|
format as with <function>sd_journal_get_data()</function> and also
|
|
follows the same life-time semantics.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_restart_data()</function> resets the
|
|
data enumeration index to the beginning of the entry. The next
|
|
invocation of <function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function>
|
|
will return the first field of the entry again.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that the <function>SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_DATA()</function>
|
|
macro may be used as a handy wrapper around
|
|
<function>sd_journal_restart_data()</function> and
|
|
<function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function>.</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>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</function> may be
|
|
used to change the data field size threshold for data returned by
|
|
<function>sd_journal_get_data()</function>,
|
|
<function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function> and
|
|
<function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>. This threshold
|
|
is a hint only: it indicates that the client program is interested
|
|
only in the initial parts of the data fields, up to the threshold
|
|
in size — but the library might still return larger data objects.
|
|
That means applications should not rely exclusively on this
|
|
setting to limit the size of the data fields returned, but need to
|
|
apply an explicit size limit on the returned data as well. This
|
|
threshold defaults to 64K by default. To retrieve the complete
|
|
data fields this threshold should be turned off by setting it to
|
|
0, so that the library always returns the complete data objects.
|
|
It is recommended to set this threshold as low as possible since
|
|
this relieves the library from having to decompress large
|
|
compressed data objects in full.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_get_data_threshold()</function> returns
|
|
the currently configured data field size threshold.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_journal_get_data()</function> returns 0 on
|
|
success or a negative errno-style error code. If the current entry
|
|
does not include the specified field, -ENOENT is returned. If
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
has not been called at least once, -EADDRNOTAVAIL is returned.
|
|
<function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function> returns a
|
|
positive integer if the next field has been read, 0 when no more
|
|
fields are known, or a negative errno-style error code.
|
|
<function>sd_journal_restart_data()</function> returns nothing.
|
|
<function>sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</function> and
|
|
<function>sd_journal_get_threshold()</function> return 0 on
|
|
success or a negative errno-style error code.</para>
