A match is in the format - <literal>FIELD=VALUE</literal>, - e.g. <literal>_SYSTEMD_UNIT=httpd.service</literal>, referring - to the components of a structured journal entry. See - <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> - for a list of well-known fields. If multiple matches are - specified matching different fields, the log entries are - filtered by both, i.e. the resulting output will show only - entries matching all the specified matches of this kind. If two - matches apply to the same field, then they are automatically - matched as alternatives, i.e. the resulting output will show - entries matching any of the specified matches for the same - field. Finally, the character <literal>+</literal> may appear - as a separate word between other terms on the command line. This - causes all matches before and after to be combined in a - disjunction (i.e. logical OR).</para> - - <para>It is also possible to filter the entries by specifying an - absolute file path as an argument. The file path may be a file or - a symbolic link and the file must exist at the time of the query. If a - file path refers to an executable binary, an <literal>_EXE=</literal> - match for the canonicalized binary path is added to the query. If a - file path refers to an executable script, a <literal>_COMM=</literal> - match for the script name is added to the query. If a file path - refers to a device node, <literal>_KERNEL_DEVICE=</literal> matches for - the kernel name of the device and for each of its ancestor devices is - added to the query. Symbolic links are dereferenced, kernel names are - synthesized, and parent devices are identified from the environment at - the time of the query. In general, a device node is the best proxy for - an actual device, as log entries do not usually contain fields that - identify an actual device. For the resulting log entries to be correct - for the actual device, the relevant parts of the environment at the time - the entry was logged, in particular the actual device corresponding to - the device node, must have been the same as those at the time of the - query. Because device nodes generally change their corresponding devices - across reboots, specifying a device node path causes the resulting - entries to be restricted to those from the current boot.</para> - - <para>Additional constraints may be added using options - <option>--boot</option>, <option>--unit=</option>, etc., to - further limit what entries will be shown (logical AND).</para> - - <para>Output is interleaved from all accessible journal files, - whether they are rotated or currently being written, and - regardless of whether they belong to the system itself or are - accessible user journals.</para> - - <para>The set of journal files which will be used can be - modified using the <option>--user</option>, - <option>--system</option>, <option>--directory</option>, and - <option>--file</option> options, see below.</para> - - <para>All users are granted access to their private per-user - journals.
