<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_journal_get_realtime_usec()</function>
gets the realtime (wallclock) timestamp of the
current journal entry. It takes two arguments: the
journal context object and a pointer to a 64 Bit
unsigned integer to store the timestamp in. The
timestamp is in microseconds since the epoch,
i.e. CLOCK_REALTIME.</para>
<para><function>sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec()</function>
gets the monotonic timestamp of the current
journal entry. It takes three arguments: the journal
context object, a pointer to a 64 Bit unsigned integer
to store the timestamp in as well as a 128 Bit ID
buffer to store the boot ID of the monotonic timestamp
in. The timestamp is in microseconds since boot-up of
the specific boot, i.e. CLOCK_MONOTONIC. Since the
monotonic clock begins new with every reboot it only
defines a well-defined point in time when used
together with an identifier identifying the boot, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_get_boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information. If the boot ID parameter is
passed NULL the function will fail if the monotonic
timestamp of the current entry is not of the current
system boot.</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>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para><function>sd_journal_get_realtime_usec()</function>
and
<function>sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec()</function>
returns 0 on success or a negative errno-style error
code. If the boot ID parameter was passed NULL and the
monotonic timestamp of the current journal entry is
not of the current system boot, -ESTALE is returned by <function>sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec()</function>.</para>
