<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>sd-journal.h</filename> provides APIs to submit
and query log entries. The APIs exposed act both as client for the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-journald.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
journal service and as parser for the journal files on disk.

<title>Thread safety</title>
<para>Functions that operate on the <structname>sd_journal</structname> object are thread
agnostic — given <structname>sd_journal</structname> pointer may only be used from one thread at
a time, but multiple threads may use multiple such objects safely. Other functions —
those that are used to send entries to the journal, like
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_print</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and similar, or those that are used to retrieve global information like
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_stream_fd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
— are thread-safe and may be called from multiple threads in parallel.</para>
