Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 11a1589223 tree-wide: drop license boilerplate
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.

I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.

<title>Description</title>
<para>
<filename>systemd-journal-remote</filename> is a command to
receive serialized journal events and store them to the journal.
Input streams are in the
<ulink url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/export">
Journal Export Format
</ulink>,
i.e. like the output from
<command>journalctl --output=export</command>. For transport over
the network, this serialized stream is usually carried over an
HTTPS connection.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Sources</title>
<para>
Sources can be either "active"
(<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> requests and pulls
the data), or "passive"
(<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> waits for a
connection and then receives events pushed by the other side).
</para>
<para>
<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> can read more than one
event stream at a time. They will be interleaved in the output
file. In case of "active" connections, each "source" is one
stream, and in case of "passive" connections, each connection can
result in a separate stream. Sockets can be configured in
"accept" mode (i.e. only one connection), or "listen" mode (i.e.
multiple connections, each resulting in a stream).
</para>
<para>
When there are no more connections, and no more can be created
(there are no listening sockets), then
<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> will exit.
</para>
<para>Active sources can be specified in the following
ways:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><arg choice="opt" rep="repeat">SOURCES</arg></term>
<listitem><para>When <option>-</option> is given as a
positional argument, events will be read from standard input.
Other positional arguments will be treated as filenames
to open and read from.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--url=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>With the
<option>--url=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option> option,
events will be retrieved using HTTP from
<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable>. This URL should refer to the
root of a remote
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-journal-gatewayd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
instance, e.g. http://some.host:19531/ or

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>Passive sources can be specified in the following
ways:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--listen-raw=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para><replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable> must be an
address suitable for <option>ListenStream=</option> (cf.
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> will listen on this
socket for connections. Each connection is expected to be a
stream of journal events.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--listen-http=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option></term>
<term><option>--listen-https=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para><replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable> must be
either a negative integer, in which case it will be
interpreted as the (negated) file descriptor number, or an
address suitable for <option>ListenStream=</option> (c.f.
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
In the first case, matching file descriptor must be inherited
through
<varname>$LISTEN_FDS</varname>/<varname>$LISTEN_PID</varname>.
In the second case, an HTTP or HTTPS server will be spawned on
this port, respectively for <option>--listen-http</option> and
<option>--listen-https</option>. Currently, only POST requests
to <filename>/upload</filename> with <literal>Content-Type:
application/vnd.fdo.journal</literal> are supported.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>$LISTEN_FDS</varname></term>
<listitem><para><command>systemd-journal-remote</command>
supports the
<varname>$LISTEN_FDS</varname>/<varname>$LISTEN_PID</varname>
protocol. Open sockets inherited through socket activation
behave like those opened with <option>--listen-raw=</option>
described above, unless they are specified as an argument in
<option>--listen-http=-<replaceable>n</replaceable></option>
or
<option>--listen-https=-<replaceable>n</replaceable></option>
above. In the latter case, an HTTP or HTTPS server will be
spawned using this descriptor and connections must be made
over the HTTP protocol.</para>
