    <para>
      <command>systemd-journal-upload</command> will upload journal
      entries to the URL specified with <option>--url</option>. Unless
      limited by one of the options specified below, all journal
      entries accessible to the user the program is running as will be
      uploaded, and then the program will wait and send new entries
      as they become available.
