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>Entries in the journal resemble an environment block in
|
|
their syntax but with fields that can include binary data.
|
|
Primarily, fields are formatted UTF-8 text strings, and binary
|
|
formatting is used only where formatting as UTF-8 text strings
|
|
makes little sense. New fields may freely be defined by
|
|
applications, but a few fields have special meaning. All fields
|
|
with special meanings are optional. In some cases, fields may
|
|
appear more than once per entry.</para>

<para>A 128-bit message identifier ID for recognizing

recommended to be a UUID-compatible ID, but this is not

enforced, and formatted differently. Developers can generate

a new ID for this purpose with <command>journalctl

these are not proper fields when stored in the journal but for
|
|
addressing metadata of entries. They cannot be written as part of
|
|
structured log entries via calls such as
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_send</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
They may also not be used as matches for
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_add_match</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry></para>

<para>The cursor for the entry. A cursor is an opaque text

string that uniquely describes the position of an entry in

the journal and is portable across machines, platforms and

journal files.

the entry was received by the journal, in microseconds since

different properties from

<literal>_SOURCE_REALTIME_TIMESTAMP=</literal>, as it is
