-
-                <para><function>sd_journal_query_unique()</function>
-                queries the journal for all unique values the
-                specified field can take. It takes two arguments: the
-                journal to query and the field name to look
-                for. Well-known field names are listed on
-                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Field
-                names must be specified without a trailing '='. After
-                this function has been executed successfully the field
-                values may be queried using
-                <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>. Invoking
-                this call a second time will change the field name
-                being queried and reset the enumeration index to the
-                first field value that matches.</para>
-
-                <para><function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>
-                may be used to iterate through all data fields which
-                match the previously selected field name as set with
-                <function>sd_journal_query_unique()</function>. On
-                each invocation the next field data matching the field
-                name is returned. The order of the returned data
-                fields is not defined. It takes three arguments: the
-                journal context object, plus a pair of pointers to
-                pointer/size variables where the data object and its
-                size shall be stored in. The returned data is in a
-                read-only memory map and is only valid until the next
-                invocation of
-                <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>. Note
-                that the data returned will be prefixed with the field
-                name and '='.</para>
-
-                <para><function>sd_journal_restart_unique()</function>
-                resets the data enumeration index to the beginning of

-                will return the first field data matching the field
-                name again.</para>
