<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>Similarly, <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.
|
|
<constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>. 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. <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant>. 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>

<title>Return Value</title>

<para>The functions return 0 on success or a negative errno-style
|
|
error code.</para>
