69 | <para>If one or more match arguments are passed the |
70 | output is filtered accordingly. A match is in the | |
71 | format <literal>FIELD=VALUE</literal>, | |
72 | e.g. <literal>_SYSTEMD_UNIT=httpd.service</literal>, | |
73 | referring to the components of a structured journal | |
74 | entry. See | |

76 | for a list of well-known fields. If multiple matches |
77 | are specified matching different fields the log | |
78 | entries are filtered by both, i.e. the resulting output | |
79 | will show only entries matching all the specified | |
80 | matches of this kind. If two matches apply to the same | |
81 | field, then they are automatically matched as | |
82 | alternatives, i.e. the resulting output will show | |
83 | entries matching any of the specified matches for the | |
84 | same field. Finally, if the character | |
85 | "<literal>+</literal>" appears as separate word on the | |
86 | command line all matches before and after are combined | |
87 | in a disjunction (i.e. logical OR).</para> | |

89 | <para>As shortcuts for a few types of field/value |
90 | matches file paths may be specified. If a file path | |
91 | refers to an executable file, this is equivalent to an | |
92 | <literal>_EXE=</literal> match for the canonicalized | |
93 | binary path. Similar, if a path refers to a device | |
94 | node, this is equivalent to a | |
95 | <literal>_KERNEL_DEVICE=</literal> match for the | |
96 | device.</para> | |
