SD_JOURNAL_GET_CATALOG(3) sd_journal_get_catalogSD_JOURNAL_GET_CATALOG(3)
sd_journal_get_catalog, sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id -
Retrieve message catalog entry
#include <systemd/sd-journal.h>
int sd_journal_get_catalog(sd_journal *j, char **ret);
int sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id(sd_id128_t id,
char **ret);
sd_journal_get_catalog() retrieves a message catalog entry for the
current journal entry. This will look up an entry in the message
catalog by using the "MESSAGE_ID=" field of the current journal
entry. Before returning the entry all journal field names in the
catalog entry text enclosed in "@" will be replaced by the
respective field values of the current entry. If a field name
referenced in the message catalog entry does not exist, in the
current journal entry, the "@" will be removed, but the field name
otherwise left untouched.
sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id() works similar to
sd_journal_get_catalog() but the entry is looked up by the
specified message ID (no open journal context is necessary for
this), and no field substitution is performed.
For more information about the journal message catalog please
refer to the Journal Message Catalogs[1] documentation page.
sd_journal_get_catalog() and
sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id() return 0 on success or a
negative errno-style error code. If no matching message catalog
entry is found, -ENOENT is returned.
On successful return, ret points to a new string, which must be
freed with free(3).
Function sd_journal_get_catalog() is thread-agnostic and only a
single thread may operate on a given object at any given time.
Multiple independent objects may be used from different threads in
parallel.
Function sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id() is thread-safe
and may be called from multiple threads in parallel.
Functions described here are available as a shared library, which
can be compiled against and linked to with the
libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
sd_journal_get_catalog() and
sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id() were added in version 196.
