- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para><function>sd_journal_add_match()</function> adds
- a match by which to filter the entries of the journal
- file. Matches applied with this call will filter what
- can be iterated through and read from the journal file
- via calls like
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- and
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_get_data</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Matches
- are of the form <literal>FIELD=value</literal>, where
- the field part is a short uppercase string consisting
- only of 0-9, A-Z and the underscore. It may not begin
- with two underscores or be the empty string. The value
- part may be any value, including binary. If a match is
- applied only entries with this field set will be
- iterated. Multiple matches may be active at the same
- time: if they apply to different fields only entries
- with both fields set like this will be iterated, if
- they apply to the same fields only entries where the
- field takes one of the specified values will be
- iterated. Well known fields are documented in
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Whenever
- a new match is added the current entry position is
- reset, and
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> (or a similar call)
- needs to be called before entries can be read
- again.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_journal_add_disjunction()</function>
- may be used to insert a disjunction (i.e. logical OR)
- in the match list. If this call is invoked all
- previously added matches are combined in an OR with
- all matches added afterwards, until
- <function>sd_journal_add_disjunction()</function> is
- invoked again to begin the next OR term. The
- combination of
- <function>sd_journal_add_match()</function> and
- <function>sd_journal_add_disjunction()</function> may
- be used to build complex search terms, even though
- full logical expressions are not available.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_journal_flush_matches()</function>
- may be used to flush all matches and disjunction terms
- again. After this call all filtering is removed and
- all entries in the journal will be iterated
- again.</para>
-
- <para>Note that filtering via matches only applies to
- the way the journal is read, it has no effect on storage
- on disk.</para>

- <title>Return Value</title>
-
- <para><function>sd_journal_add_match()</function> and

- code. <function>sd_journal_flush_matches()</function>
- returns nothing.</para>

-
- <para>The <function>sd_journal_add_match()</function>,
- <function>sd_journal_add_disjunction()</function> and
- <function>sd_journal_flush_matches()</function> interfaces are
- available as shared library, which can be compiled and
- linked to with the
- <literal>libsystemd-journal</literal>
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>

- <title>Examples</title>
-
- <para>The following example adds matches to a journal
- context object to iterate only through messages
- generated by the Avahi service at the four error log
- levels, plus all messages of the message ID
- 03bb1dab98ab4ecfbf6fff2738bdd964 coming from any
- service (this example lacks the necessary error
- checking):</para>
