<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
|
|
'='.</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>

<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.</para>
