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 '='. Also note that by default data fields - larger than 64K might get truncated to 64K. This threshold may be - changed and turned off with - <function>sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</function> (see - below).</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> - - <para><function>sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</function> may be - used to change the data field size threshold for data returned by - <function>sd_journal_get_data()</function>, - <function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function> and - <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>. This threshold - is a hint only: it indicates that the client program is interested - only in the initial parts of the data fields, up to the threshold - in size -- but the library might still return larger data objects. - That means applications should not rely exclusively on this - setting to limit the size of the data fields returned, but need to - apply a explicit size limit on the returned data as well. This - threshold defaults to 64K by default. To retrieve the complete - data fields this threshold should be turned off by setting it to - 0, so that the library always returns the complete data objects. - It is recommended to set this threshold as low as possible since - this relieves the library from having to decompress large - compressed data objects in full.</para> - - <para><function>sd_journal_get_data_threshold()</function> returns - the currently configured data field size threshold.</para> - </refsect1> - - <refsect1> - <title>Return Value</title> - - <para><function>sd_journal_get_data()</function> returns 0 on - success or a negative errno-style error code.
