<title>Description</title>
- <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 '='. Note
- that this call is subject to the data field size threshold as
- controlled by
- <function>sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</function>.</para>

<title>Examples</title>
- <para>Use the <function>SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_UNIQUE</function> macro
- to iterate through all values a field of the journal can take. The
- following example lists all unit names referenced in the
- journal:</para>

-

- size_t l;
- int r;
-
- r = sd_journal_open(&j, SD_JOURNAL_LOCAL_ONLY);
- if (r < 0) {
- fprintf(stderr, "Failed to open journal: %s\n", strerror(-r));
- return 1;
- }
- r = sd_journal_query_unique(j, "_SYSTEMD_UNIT");
- if (r < 0) {
- fprintf(stderr, "Failed to query journal: %s\n", strerror(-r));
