76 | <title>Description</title> | |
77 | ||
78 | <para><function>sd_journal_add_match()</function> adds | |
79 | a match by which to filter the entries of the journal | |
80 | file. Matches applied with this call will filter what | |
81 | can be iterated through and read from the journal file | |
82 | via calls like | |
83 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
84 | and | |
85 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_get_data</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Matches | |
86 | are of the form <literal>FIELD=value</literal>, where | |
87 | the field part is a short uppercase string consisting | |
88 | only of 0-9, A-Z and the underscore. It may not begin | |
89 | with two underscores or be the empty string. The value | |
90 | part may be any value, including binary. If a match is | |
91 | applied only entries with this field set will be | |
92 | iterated. Multiple matches may be active at the same | |
93 | time: if they apply to different fields only entries | |
94 | with both fields set like this will be iterated, if | |
95 | they apply to the same fields only entries where the | |
96 | field takes one of the specified values will be | |
97 | iterated. Well known fields are documented in | |
98 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Whenever | |
99 | a new match is added the current entry position is | |
100 | reset, and | |
101 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> (or a similar call) | |
102 | needs to be called before entries can be read | |
103 | again.</para> | |
104 | ||
105 | <para><function>sd_journal_add_disjunction()</function> | |
106 | may be used to insert a disjunction (i.e. logical OR) | |
107 | in the match list. If this call is invoked all | |
108 | previously added matches are combined in an OR with | |
109 | all matches added afterwards, until | |
110 | <function>sd_journal_add_disjunction()</function> is | |
111 | invoked again to begin the next OR term. The | |
112 | combination of | |
113 | <function>sd_journal_add_match()</function> and | |
114 | <function>sd_journal_add_disjunction()</function> may | |
115 | be used to build complex search terms, even though | |
116 | full logical expressions are not available.</para> | |
117 | ||
118 | <para><function>sd_journal_flush_matches()</function> | |
119 | may be used to flush all matches and disjunction terms | |
120 | again. After this call all filtering is removed and | |
121 | all entries in the journal will be iterated | |
122 | again.</para> | |
123 | ||
124 | <para>Note that filtering via matches only applies to | |
bb31a4ac | 125 | the way the journal is read, it has no effect on storage |
f4e761c4 LP |
126 | on disk.</para> |
