  76                 <para><function>sd_journal_get_cutoff_realtime_usec()</function>
  77                 retrieves the realtime (wallclock) timestamps of the
  78                 first and last entries accessible in the journal.  It
  79                 takes three arguments: the journal context object
  80                 <parameter>j</parameter> and two pointers
  81                 <parameter>from</parameter> and
  82                 <parameter>to</parameter> pointing at 64-bit unsigned
  83                 integers to store the timestamps in. The timestamps
  84                 are in microseconds since the epoch,
  85                 i.e. <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant>. Either one
  86                 of the two timestamp arguments may be passed as
  87                 <constant>NULL</constant> in case the timestamp is not
  88                 needed, but not both.</para>
  89
  90                 <para><function>sd_journal_get_cutoff_monotonic_usec()</function>
  91                 retrieves the monotonic timestamps of the first and
  92                 last entries accessible in the journal. It takes three
  93                 arguments: the journal context object
  94                 <parameter>j</parameter>, a 128-bit identifier for the
  95                 boot <parameter>boot_id</parameter>, and two pointers
  96                 to 64-bit unsigned integers to store the timestamps,
  97                 <parameter>from</parameter> and
  98                 <parameter>to</parameter>. The timestamps are in
  99                 microseconds since boot-up of the specific boot,
 100                 i.e. <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>. Since the
 101                 monotonic clock begins new with every reboot it only
 102                 defines a well-defined point in time when used
 103                 together with an identifier identifying the boot, see
 104                 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_get_boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
 105                 for more information. The function will return the
 106                 timestamps for the boot identified by the passed boot
 107                 ID. Either one of the two timestamp arguments may be
 108                 passed as <constant>NULL</constant> in case the
 109                 timestamp is not needed, but not both.</para>

 118                 return 1 on success, 0 if not suitable entries are in
 119                 the journal or a negative errno-style error code.</para>

 124                 return value is positive, and obviously, the
 125                 parameters are non-null.</para>
