It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o. Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies. In generated html, add external links to http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/, https://www.archlinux.org/. By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff. The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the manpages. Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from archlinux.org. Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?

<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para><function>sd_journal_get_cursor()</function>
|
||
returns a cursor string for the current journal
|
||
entry. A cursor is a serialization of the current
|
||
journal position formatted as text. The string only
|
||
contains printable characters and can be passed around
|
||
in text form. The cursor identifies a journal entry
|
||
globally and in a stable way and may be used to later
|
||
seek to it via
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_seek_cursor</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
|
||
cursor string should be considered opaque and not be
|
||
parsed by clients. Seeking to a cursor position
|
||
without the specific entry being available locally
|
||
will seek to the next closest (in terms of time)
|
||
available entry. The call takes two arguments: a
|
||
journal context object and a pointer to a string
|
||
pointer where the cursor string will be placed. The
|
||
string is allocated via libc
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>malloc</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
and should be freed after use with
|
||
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
||
|

<para>Note that
|
||
<function>sd_journal_get_cursor()</function> 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_test_cursor()</function>
|
||
may be used to check whether the current position in
|
||
the journal matches the specified cursor. This is
|
||
useful since cursor strings do not uniquely identify
|
||
an entry: the same entry might be referred to by
|
||
multiple different cursor strings, and hence string
|
||
comparing cursors is not possible. Use this call to
|
||
verify after an invocation of
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_seek_cursor</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
whether the entry being sought to was actually found
|
||
in the journal or the next closest entry was used
|
||
instead.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
|

<para><function>sd_journal_get_cursor()</function>
|

returns 0 on success or a negative errno-style error

code. <function>sd_journal_test_cursor()</function>
|
||
returns positive if the current entry matches the
|
||
specified cursor, 0 if it does not match the specified
|
||
cursor or a negative errno-style error code on
|
||
failure.</para>
