     <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_namespace()</function> is similar to
+    <function>sd_journal_open()</function> but takes an additional <parameter>namespace</parameter> parameter
+    that specifies which journal namespace to operate on. If specified as <constant>NULL</constant> the call
+    is identical to <function>sd_journal_open()</function>. If non-<constant>NULL</constant> only data from
+    the namespace identified by the specified parameter is accessed. This call understands two additional
+    flags: if <constant>SD_JOURNAL_ALL_NAMESPACES</constant> is specified the
+    <parameter>namespace</parameter> parameter is ignored and all defined namespaces are accessed
+    simultaneously; if <constant>SD_JOURNAL_INCLUDE_DEFAULT_NAMESPACE</constant> the specified namespace and
+    the default namespace are accessed but no others (this flag has no effect when
+    <parameter>namespace</parameter> is passed as <constant>NULL</constant>). For details about journal
+    namespaces see

+    <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><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

+    but takes an array of open file descriptors that must reference journal files, instead of an array of file system
+    paths. Pass the array of file descriptors as second argument, and the number of array entries in the third. The
