<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
|
||
'='. Also note that by default data fields larger than
|
||
64K might get truncated to 64K. This threshold may be
|
||
changed and turned off with
|
||
<function>sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</function> (see
|
||
below).</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>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</function>
|
||
may be used to change the data field size threshold
|
||
for data returned by
|
||
<function>sd_journal_get_data()</function>,
|
||
<function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function> and
|
||
<function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>. This
|
||
threshold is a hint only: it indicates that the client
|
||
program is interested only in the initial parts of the
|
||
data fields, up to the threshold in size -- but the
|
||
library might still return larger data objects. That
|
||
means applications should not rely exclusively on this
|
||
setting to limit the size of the data fields returned,
|
||
but need to apply a explicit size limit on the
|
||
returned data as well. This threshold defaults to 64K
|
||
by default. To retrieve the complete data fields this
|
||
threshold should be turned off by setting it to 0, so
|
||
that the library always returns the complete data
|
||
objects. It is recommended to set this threshold as
|
||
low as possible since this relieves the library from
|
||
having to decompress large compressed data objects in
|
||
full.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_journal_get_data_threshold()</function>
|
||
returns the currently configured data field size
|
||
threshold.</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. <function>sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</function>
|
||
and <function>sd_journal_get_threshold()</function>
|
||
return 0 on success or a negative errno-style error
