It will find all journal files automatically and - interleave them automatically when reading. As first argument it - takes a pointer to a <varname>sd_journal</varname> pointer, which - on success will contain a journal context object. The second - argument is a flags field, which may consist of the following - flags ORed together: <constant>SD_JOURNAL_LOCAL_ONLY</constant> - makes sure only journal files generated on the local machine will - be opened. <constant>SD_JOURNAL_RUNTIME_ONLY</constant> makes sure - only volatile journal files will be opened, excluding those which - are stored on persistent storage. - <constant>SD_JOURNAL_SYSTEM</constant> will cause journal files of - system services and the kernel (in opposition to user session - processes) to be opened. - <constant>SD_JOURNAL_CURRENT_USER</constant> will cause journal - files of the current user to be opened. If neither - <constant>SD_JOURNAL_SYSTEM</constant> nor - <constant>SD_JOURNAL_CURRENT_USER</constant> are specified, all - journal file types will be opened.</para> - - <para><function>sd_journal_open_directory()</function> is similar - to <function>sd_journal_open()</function> but takes an absolute - directory path as argument. All journal files in this directory - will be opened and interleaved automatically. This call also takes - a flags argument, but it must be passed as 0 as no flags are - currently understood for this call.</para> - - <para><function>sd_journal_open_files()</function> is similar to - <function>sd_journal_open()</function> but takes a - <constant>NULL</constant>-terminated list of file paths to open. - All files will be opened and interleaved automatically. This call - also takes a flags argument, but it must be passed as 0 as no - flags are currently understood for this call. Please note that in - the case of a live journal, this function is only useful for - debugging, because individual journal files can be rotated at any - moment, and the opening of specific files is inherently - racy.</para> - - <para><function>sd_journal_open_container()</function> is similar - to <function>sd_journal_open()</function> but opens the journal - files of a running OS container.
