46 <title>Description</title>
47
48 <para><function>sd_journal_get_realtime_usec()</function> gets the
49 realtime (wallclock) timestamp of the current journal entry. It
50 takes two arguments: the journal context object and a pointer to a
51 64-bit unsigned integer to store the timestamp in. The timestamp
52 is in microseconds since the epoch, i.e.
53 <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant>.</para>
54
55 <para><function>sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec()</function> gets
56 the monotonic timestamp of the current journal entry. It takes
57 three arguments: the journal context object, a pointer to a 64-bit
58 unsigned integer to store the timestamp in, as well as a 128-bit
59 ID buffer to store the boot ID of the monotonic timestamp. The
60 timestamp is in microseconds since boot-up of the specific boot,
61 i.e. <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>. Since the monotonic
62 clock begins new with every reboot, it only defines a well-defined
63 point in time when used together with an identifier identifying
64 the boot. See
65 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_get_boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
66 for more information. If the boot ID parameter is passed
67 <constant>NULL</constant>, the function will fail if the monotonic
68 timestamp of the current entry is not of the current system
69 boot.</para>

71 <para>Note that these functions will not work before
72 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
73 (or related call) has been called at least
74 once, in order to position the read pointer at a valid entry.</para>

78 <title>Return Value</title>
79
80 <para><function>sd_journal_get_realtime_usec()</function> and
81 <function>sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec()</function> returns 0 on
82 success or a negative errno-style error code. If the boot ID
83 parameter was passed <constant>NULL</constant> and the monotonic
84 timestamp of the current journal entry is not of the current
85 system boot, <constant>-ESTALE</constant> is returned by
86 <function>sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec()</function>.</para>
