<para><function>sd_journal_open()</function> opens the log journal
for reading. It will find all journal files automatically and
interleave them automatically when reading. As first argument it
- takes a pointer to a <varname>sd_journal</varname> pointer, which
- on success will contain a journal context object. The second
+ takes a pointer to a <varname>sd_journal</varname> pointer, which,
+ on success, will contain a journal context object. The second
argument is a flags field, which may consist of the following
flags ORed together: <constant>SD_JOURNAL_LOCAL_ONLY</constant>
makes sure only journal files generated on the local machine will
<constant>SD_JOURNAL_CURRENT_USER</constant> are specified, all
journal file types will be opened.</para>
- <para><function>sd_journal_open_directory()</function> is similar
- to <function>sd_journal_open()</function> but takes an absolute
- directory path as argument. All journal files in this directory
- will be opened and interleaved automatically. This call also takes
- a flags argument, but it must be passed as 0 as no flags are
- currently understood for this call.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_journal_open_files()</function> is similar to
- <function>sd_journal_open()</function> but takes a
- <constant>NULL</constant>-terminated list of file paths to open.
- All files will be opened and interleaved automatically. This call
- also takes a flags argument, but it must be passed as 0 as no
- flags are currently understood for this call. Please note that in
- the case of a live journal, this function is only useful for
- debugging, because individual journal files can be rotated at any
- moment, and the opening of specific files is inherently
- racy.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_journal_open_container()</function> is similar
- to <function>sd_journal_open()</function> but opens the journal
- files of a running OS container. The specified machine name refers
- to a container that is registered with
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+ <para><function>sd_journal_open_directory()</function> is similar to <function>sd_journal_open()</function> but
+ takes an absolute directory path as argument. All journal files in this directory will be opened and interleaved
+ automatically. This call also takes a flags argument. The flags parameters accepted by this call are
+ <constant>SD_JOURNAL_OS_ROOT</constant>, <constant>SD_JOURNAL_SYSTEM</constant>, and
+ <constant>SD_JOURNAL_CURRENT_USER</constant>. If <constant>SD_JOURNAL_OS_ROOT</constant> is specified, journal
+ files are searched for below the usual <filename>/var/log/journal</filename> and
+ <filename>/run/log/journal</filename> relative to the specified path, instead of directly beneath it.
+ The other two flags limit which files are opened, the same as for <function>sd_journal_open()</function>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_open_directory_fd()</function> is similar to

+ system instead of an absolute file system path.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_open_files()</function> is similar to <function>sd_journal_open()</function> but takes a

+ paths. Pass the array of file descriptors as second argument, and the number of array entries in the third. The
+ flags parameter must be passed as 0.</para>
