                <title>Description</title>

                <para><function>sd_journal_get_cutoff_realtime_usec()</function>
                retrieves the realtime (wallclock) timestamps of the
                first and last entries accessible in the journal.  It
                takes three arguments: the journal context object
                <parameter>j</parameter> and two pointers
                <parameter>from</parameter> and
                <parameter>to</parameter> pointing at 64-bit unsigned
                integers to store the timestamps in. The timestamps
                are in microseconds since the epoch,
                i.e. <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant>. Either one
                of the two timestamp arguments may be passed as
                <constant>NULL</constant> in case the timestamp is not
                needed, but not both.</para>

                <para><function>sd_journal_get_cutoff_monotonic_usec()</function>
                retrieves the monotonic timestamps of the first and
                last entries accessible in the journal. It takes three
                arguments: the journal context object
                <parameter>j</parameter>, a 128-bit identifier for the
                boot <parameter>boot_id</parameter>, and two pointers
                to 64-bit unsigned integers to store the timestamps,
                <parameter>from</parameter> and
                <parameter>to</parameter>. The timestamps are in
                microseconds since boot-up of the specific boot,
                i.e. <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>. Since the
                monotonic clock begins new with every reboot it only
                defines a well-defined point in time when used
                together with an identifier identifying the boot, see
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_get_boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
                for more information. The function will return the
                timestamps for the boot identified by the passed boot
                ID. Either one of the two timestamp arguments may be
                passed as <constant>NULL</constant> in case the
                timestamp is not needed, but not both.</para>

                <para><function>sd_journal_get_cutoff_realtime_usec()</function>
                and
                <function>sd_journal_get_cutoff_monotonic_usec()</function>
                return 1 on success, 0 if not suitable entries are in
                the journal or a negative errno-style error code.</para>

                <para>Locations pointed to by parameters
                <parameter>from</parameter> and
                <parameter>to</parameter> will be set only if the
                return value is positive, and obviously, the
                parameters are non-null.</para>
