- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para><function>sd_journal_get_data()</function> gets
- the data object associated with a specific field from
- the current journal entry. It takes four arguments:
- the journal context object, a string with the field
- name to request, plus a pair of pointers to
- pointer/size variables where the data object and its
- size shall be stored in. The field name should be an
- entry field name. Well-known field names are listed in
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
- returned data is in a read-only memory map and is only
- valid until the next invocation of
- <function>sd_journal_get_data()</function> or
- <function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function>, or
- the read pointer is altered. Note that the data
- returned will be prefixed with the field name and
- '='.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function>
- may be used to iterate through all fields of the
- current entry. On each invocation the data for the
- next field is returned. The order of these fields is
- not defined. The data returned is in the same format
- as with <function>sd_journal_get_data()</function> and
- also follows the same life-time semantics.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_journal_restart_data()</function>
- resets the data enumeration index to the beginning of
- the entry. The next invocation of
- <function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function> will return the first
- field of the entry again.</para>
-
- <para>Note that the
- <function>SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_DATA()</function> macro
- may be used as a handy wrapper around
- <function>sd_journal_restart_data()</function> and
- <function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function>.</para>
-
- <para>Note that these functions 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>

- <title>Return Value</title>
-
- <para><function>sd_journal_get_data()</function>
- returns 0 on success or a negative errno-style error
- code. If the current entry does not include the
- specified field -ENOENT is returned. If
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- has not been called at least once -EADDRNOTAVAIL is
- returned. <function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function>
- returns a positive integer if the next field has been
- read, 0 when no more fields are known, or a negative
- errno-style error
- code. <function>sd_journal_restart_data()</function>
- returns nothing.</para>
