+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_get_realtime_usec()</function>
+ gets the realtime (wallclock) timestamp of the the
+ current journal entry. It takes two arguments: the
+ journal context object and a pointer to a 64 Bit
+ unsigned integer to store the timestamp in. The
+ timestamp is in microseconds since the epoch,
+ i.e. CLOCK_REALTIME.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_get_realtime_usec()</function>
+ gets the monotonic timestamp of the the current
+ journal entry. It takes three arguments: the journal
+ context object, a pointer to a 64 Bit unsigned integer
+ to store the timestamp in as well as a 128 Bit ID
+ buffer to store the boot ID of the monotonic timestamp
+ in. The timestamp is in microseconds since boot-up of
+ the specific boot, i.e. CLOCK_MONOTONIC. Since the
+ monotonic clock begins new with every reboot it only
+ defines a well-defined point in time when used
+ together with a identifier identifying the boot, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_get_boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information. If the boot ID parameter is
+ passed NULL the function will fail if the monotonic
+ timestamp of the current entry is not of the current
+ system boot.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that these functions will not work before
