82 | <title>Description</title> | |
83 | ||
84 | <para><function>sd_journal_add_match()</function> adds a match by | |
85 | which to filter the entries of the journal file. Matches applied | |
86 | with this call will filter what can be iterated through and read | |
87 | from the journal file via calls like | |
88 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
89 | and | |
90 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_get_data</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. | |
91 | Matches are of the form <literal>FIELD=value</literal>, where the | |
92 | field part is a short uppercase string consisting only of 0-9, A-Z | |
93 | and the underscore. It may not begin with two underscores or be | |
94 | the empty string. The value part may be any value, including | |
95 | binary. If a match is applied, only entries with this field set | |
96 | will be iterated. Multiple matches may be active at the same time: | |
97 | If they apply to different fields, only entries with both fields | |
98 | set like this will be iterated. If they apply to the same fields, | |
99 | only entries where the field takes one of the specified values | |
100 | will be iterated. Well known fields are documented in | |
101 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>. | |
102 | Whenever a new match is added the current entry position is reset, | |
103 | and | |
104 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
105 | (or a similar call) needs to be called before entries can be read | |
106 | again.</para> | |
107 | ||
108 | <para><function>sd_journal_add_disjunction()</function> may be | |
109 | used to insert a disjunction (i.e. logical OR) in the match list. | |
110 | If this call is invoked, all previously added matches since the | |
111 | last invocation of | |
112 | <function>sd_journal_add_disjunction()</function> or | |
113 | <function>sd_journal_add_conjunction()</function> are combined in | |
114 | an OR with all matches added afterwards, until | |
115 | <function>sd_journal_add_disjunction()</function> or | |
116 | <function>sd_journal_add_conjunction()</function> is invoked again | |
117 | to begin the next OR or AND term. </para> | |
118 | ||
119 | <para><function>sd_journal_add_conjunction()</function> may be | |
120 | used to insert a conjunction (i.e. logical AND) in the match list. | |
121 | If this call is invoked, all previously added matches since the | |
122 | last invocation of | |
123 | <function>sd_journal_add_conjunction()</function> are combined in | |
124 | an AND with all matches added afterwards, until | |
125 | <function>sd_journal_add_conjunction()</function> is invoked again | |
126 | to begin the next AND term. The combination of | |
127 | <function>sd_journal_add_match()</function>, | |
128 | <function>sd_journal_add_disjunction()</function> and | |
129 | <function>sd_journal_add_conjunction()</function> may be used to | |
130 | build complex search terms, even though full logical expressions | |
131 | are not available. Note that | |
132 | <function>sd_journal_add_conjunction()</function> operates one | |
133 | level 'higher' than | |
134 | <function>sd_journal_add_disjunction()</function>. It is hence | |
135 | possible to build an expression of AND terms, consisting of OR | |
136 | terms, consisting of AND terms, consisting of OR terms of matches | |
137 | (the latter OR expression is implicitly created for matches with | |
138 | the same field name, see above).</para> | |
139 | ||
140 | <para><function>sd_journal_flush_matches()</function> may be used | |
141 | to flush all matches, disjunction and conjunction terms again. | |
142 | After this call all filtering is removed and all entries in the | |
143 | journal will be iterated again.</para> | |
144 | ||
145 | <para>Note that filtering via matches only applies to the way the | |
146 | journal is read, it has no effect on storage on disk.</para> | |
