SD_JOURNAL_QUERY_UNIQUE(3)  sd_journal_query_unique SD_JOURNAL_QUERY_UNIQUE(3)

NAME
       sd_journal_query_unique, sd_journal_enumerate_unique,
       sd_journal_restart_unique, SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_UNIQUE - Read unique data
       fields from the journal

SYNOPSIS
       #include <systemd/sd-journal.h>

       int sd_journal_query_unique(sd_journal* j, const char* field);

       int sd_journal_enumerate_unique(sd_journal* j, const void** data,
				       size_t* length);

       void sd_journal_restart_unique(sd_journal* j);

       SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_UNIQUE(sd_journal* j, const void* data,
				 size_t length);

DESCRIPTION
       sd_journal_query_unique() queries the journal for all unique values the
       specified field can take. It takes two arguments: the journal to query
       and the field name to look for. Well-known field names are listed on
       systemd.journal-fields(7). Field names must be specified without a
       trailing '='. After this function has been executed successfully the
       field values may be queried using sd_journal_enumerate_unique().
       Invoking this call a second time will change the field name being
       queried and reset the enumeration index to the first field value that
       matches.

       sd_journal_enumerate_unique() may be used to iterate through all data
       fields which match the previously selected field name as set with
       sd_journal_query_unique(). On each invocation the next field data
       matching the field name is returned. The order of the returned data
       fields is not defined. It takes three arguments: the journal context
       object, plus a pair of pointers to pointer/size variables where the
       data object and its size shall be stored in. The returned data is in a
       read-only memory map and is only valid until the next invocation of
       sd_journal_enumerate_unique(). Note that the data returned will be
       prefixed with the field name and '='. Note that this call is subject to
       the data field size threshold as controlled by
       sd_journal_set_data_threshold().

       sd_journal_restart_unique() resets the data enumeration index to the
       beginning of the list. The next invocation of
       sd_journal_enumerate_unique() will return the first field data matching
       the field name again.

       Note that the SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_UNIQUE() macro may be used as a handy
       wrapper around sd_journal_restart_unique() and
       sd_journal_enumerate_unique().

       Note that these functions currently are not influenced by matches set
       with sd_journal_add_match() but this might change in a later version of
       this software.

RETURN VALUE
       sd_journal_query_unique() returns 0 on success or a negative
       errno-style error code.	sd_journal_enumerate_unique() returns a
       positive integer if the next field data has been read, 0 when no more
       fields are known, or a negative errno-style error code.
       sd_journal_restart_unique() returns nothing.

NOTES
       The sd_journal_query_unique(), sd_journal_enumerate_unique() and
       sd_journal_restart_unique() interfaces are available as a shared
       library, which can be compiled and linked to with the
       libsystemd-journal pkg-config(1) file.

EXAMPLES
       Use the SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_UNIQUE macro to iterate through all values a
       field of the journal can take. The following example lists all unit
       names referenced in the journal:

	   #include <stdio.h>
	   #include <string.h>
	   #include <systemd/sd-journal.h>

	   int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
		   sd_journal *j;
		   const void *d;
		   size_t l;
		   int r;

		   r = sd_journal_open(&j, SD_JOURNAL_LOCAL_ONLY);
		   if (r < 0) {
			   fprintf(stderr, "Failed to open journal: %s\n", strerror(-r));
			   return 1;
		   }
		   r = sd_journal_query_unique(j, "_SYSTEMD_UNIT");
		   if (r < 0) {
			   fprintf(stderr, "Failed to query journal: %s\n", strerror(-r));
			   return 1;
		   }
		   SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_UNIQUE(j, d, l)
			   printf("%.*s\n", (int) l, (const char*) d);
		   sd_journal_close(j);
		   return 0;
	   }
