+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_stream_fd()</function> may be used to
+ create a log stream file descriptor. Log messages written to this
+ file descriptor as simple newline-separated text strings are
+ written to the journal. This file descriptor can be used
+ internally by applications or be made standard output or standard
+ error of other processes executed.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_stream_fd()</function> takes a short
+ program identifier string as first argument, which will be written
+ to the journal as _SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER= field for each log entry
+ (see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information). The second argument shall be the default
+ priority level for all messages. The priority level is one of
+ <constant>LOG_EMERG</constant>, <constant>LOG_ALERT</constant>,
+ <constant>LOG_CRIT</constant>, <constant>LOG_ERR</constant>,
+ <constant>LOG_WARNING</constant>, <constant>LOG_NOTICE</constant>,
+ <constant>LOG_INFO</constant>, <constant>LOG_DEBUG</constant>, as
+ defined in <filename>syslog.h</filename>, see
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details. The third argument is a boolean: if true kernel-style
+ log level prefixes (such as <constant>SD_WARNING</constant>) are
+ interpreted, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-daemon</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information.</para>
+
+ <para>It is recommended that applications log UTF-8 messages only
+ with this API, but this is not enforced.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>The call returns a valid write-only file descriptor on
+ success or a negative errno-style error code.</para>

+
+ <para>Function <function>sd_journal_stream_fd()</function> is thread-safe and may be called

+
+ <para>The <function>sd_journal_stream_fd()</function> interface is
+ available as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to
+ with the
