50 <title>Description</title>
51
52 <para><function>sd_journal_enumerate_fields()</function> may be used to iterate through all field names used in the
53 opened journal files. On each invocation the next field name is returned. The order of the returned field names is
54 not defined. It takes two arguments: the journal context object, plus a pointer to a constant string pointer where
55 the field name is stored in. The returned data is in a read-only memory map and is only valid until the next
56 invocation of <function>sd_journal_enumerate_fields()</function>. Note that this call is subject to the data field
57 size threshold as controlled by <function>sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</function>.</para>
58
59 <para><function>sd_journal_restart_fields()</function> resets the field name enumeration index to the beginning of
60 the list. The next invocation of <function>sd_journal_enumerate_fields()</function> will return the first field
61 name again.</para>
62
63 <para>The <function>SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_FIELD()</function> macro may be used as a handy wrapper around
64 <function>sd_journal_restart_fields()</function> and <function>sd_journal_enumerate_fields()</function>.</para>
65
66 <para>These functions currently are not influenced by matches set with <function>sd_journal_add_match()</function>
67 but this might change in a later version of this software.</para>
68
69 <para>To retrieve the possible values a specific field can take use
70 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_query_unique</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

74 <title>Return Value</title>
75
76 <para><function>sd_journal_enumerate_fields()</function> returns a
77 positive integer if the next field name has been read, 0 when no
78 more field names are known, or a negative errno-style error code.
79 <function>sd_journal_restart_fields()</function> returns
80 nothing.</para>
