- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para>Entries in the journal resemble an environment
- block in their syntax, however with fields that can
- include binary data. Primarily, fields are formatted
- UTF-8 text strings, and binary formatting is used only
- where formatting as UTF-8 text strings makes little
- sense. New fields may freely be defined by
- applications, but a few fields have special
- meaning. All fields with special meanings are
- optional. In some cases fields may appear more than
- once per entry.</para>

- <listitem>
- <para>The human readable

- as lower-case hexadecimal
- string, without any separating
- dashes or suchlike. This is
- recommended to be a UUID
- compatible ID, but this is not
- enforced, and formatted
- differently. Developers can
- generate a new ID for this
- purpose with
- <command>journalctl
- --new-id</command>.</para>
