- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para><function>sd_journal_query_unique()</function>
- queries the journal for all unique values the
- specified field can take. It takes two arguments: the
- journal to query and the field name to look
- for. Well-known field names are listed on
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Field
- names must be specified without a trailing '='. After
- this function has been executed successfully the field
- values may be queried using
- <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>. Invoking
- this call a second time will change the field name
- being queried and reset the enumeration index to the
- first field value that matches.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>
- may be used to iterate through all data fields which
- match the previously selected field name as set with
- <function>sd_journal_query_unique()</function>. On
- each invocation the next field data matching the field
- name is returned. The order of the returned data
- fields is not defined. It takes three arguments: the
- journal context object, plus a pair of pointers to
- pointer/size variables where the data object and its
- size shall be stored in. The returned data is in a
- read-only memory map and is only valid until the next
- invocation of
- <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>. Note
- that the data returned will be prefixed with the field
- name and '='.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_journal_restart_unique()</function>
- resets the data enumeration index to the beginning of
- the list. The next invocation of
- <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>
- will return the first field data matching the field
- name again.</para>
-
- <para>Note that the
- <function>SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_UNIQUE()</function> macro
- may be used as a handy wrapper around
- <function>sd_journal_restart_unique()</function> and
- <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>.</para>
-
- <para>Note that these functions currently are not
- influenced by matches set with
- <function>sd_journal_add_match()</function> but this
- might change in a later version of this
- software.</para>

- <title>Return Value</title>
-
- <para><function>sd_journal_query_unique()</function>
- returns 0 on success or a negative errno-style error
- code. <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>
- returns a positive integer if the next field data has
- been read, 0 when no more fields are known, or a
- negative errno-style error
- code. <function>sd_journal_restart_unique()</function>
- returns nothing.</para>

- interfaces are available as shared library, which can
- be compiled and linked to with the

- <title>Examples</title>
-
- <para>Use the
- <function>SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_UNIQUE</function> macro
- to iterate through all values a field of the journal
- can take. The following example lists all unit names
- referenced in the journal:</para>
-
- <programlisting>#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
-#include &lt;string.h&gt;
-#include &lt;systemd/sd-journal.h&gt;
-
-int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
- sd_journal *j;
- const void *d;
- size_t l;
- int r;
-
- r = sd_journal_open(&amp;j, SD_JOURNAL_LOCAL_ONLY);
- if (r &lt; 0) {
- fprintf(stderr, "Failed to open journal: %s\n", strerror(-r));
- return 1;
- }
- r = sd_journal_query_unique(j, "_SYSTEMD_UNIT");
- if (r &lt; 0) {
- fprintf(stderr, "Failed to query journal: %s\n", strerror(-r));
- return 1;
- }
- SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_UNIQUE(j, d, l)
- printf("%.*s\n", (int) l, (const char*) d);
- sd_journal_close(j);
- return 0;
-}</programlisting>
