A cursor is a - serialization of the current journal position formatted as text. - The string only contains printable characters and can be passed - around in text form. The cursor identifies a journal entry - globally and in a stable way and may be used to later seek to it - via - <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_seek_cursor</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. - The cursor string should be considered opaque and not be parsed by - clients. Seeking to a cursor position without the specific entry - being available locally will seek to the next closest (in terms of - time) available entry. The call takes two arguments: a journal - context object and a pointer to a string pointer where the cursor - string will be placed. The string is allocated via libc - <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>malloc</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> - and should be freed after use with - <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para> - - <para>Note that <function>sd_journal_get_cursor()</function> will - not work before - <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> - (or related call) has been called at least once, in order to - position the read pointer at a valid entry.</para> - - <para><function>sd_journal_test_cursor()</function> - may be used to check whether the current position in - the journal matches the specified cursor. This is - useful since cursor strings do not uniquely identify - an entry: the same entry might be referred to by - multiple different cursor strings, and hence string - comparing cursors is not possible.
