NAME

       sd_journal_enumerate_fields, sd_journal_restart_fields, SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_FIELD - Read used field names
       from the journal

SYNOPSIS

       #include <systemd/sd-journal.h>

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

       void sd_journal_restart_fields(sd_journal *j);

       SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_FIELD(sd_journal *j, const char *field);

DESCRIPTION

       sd_journal_enumerate_fields() may be used to iterate through all field names used in the opened journal
       files. On each invocation the next field name is returned. The order of the returned field names is not
       defined. It takes two arguments: the journal context object, plus a pointer to a constant string pointer
       where the field name is stored in. The returned data is in a read-only memory map and is only valid until
       the next invocation of sd_journal_enumerate_fields(). Note that this call is subject to the data field
       size threshold as controlled by sd_journal_set_data_threshold().

       sd_journal_restart_fields() resets the field name enumeration index to the beginning of the list. The
       next invocation of sd_journal_enumerate_fields() will return the first field name again.

       The SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_FIELD() macro may be used as a handy wrapper around sd_journal_restart_fields()
       and sd_journal_enumerate_fields().

       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.

       To retrieve the possible values a specific field can take use sd_journal_query_unique(3).

RETURN VALUE

       sd_journal_enumerate_fields() returns a positive integer if the next field name has been read, 0 when no
       more field names are known, or a negative errno-style error code.  sd_journal_restart_fields() returns
       nothing.

NOTES

       All functions listed here are thread-agnostic and only a single thread may operate on a given sd_journal
       object.

       The sd_journal_enumerate_fields() and sd_journal_restart_fields() interfaces are available as a shared
       library, which can be compiled and linked to with the libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.

EXAMPLES

       Use the SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_FIELD macro to iterate through all field names in use in the current journal.

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

           int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
                   sd_journal *j;
                   const char *field;
                   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;
                   }
                   SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_FIELD(j, field)
                           printf("%s\n", field);
                   sd_journal_close(j);
                   return 0;
           }
