    <title>Description</title>

    <para><filename>sd-journal.h</filename> provides APIs to submit
    and query log entries. The APIs exposed act both as client for the
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-journald.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    journal service and as parser for the journal files on disk.

    <title>Thread safety</title>

    <para>Functions that operate on the <structname>sd_journal</structname> object are thread
    agnostic  given <structname>sd_journal</structname> pointer may only be used from one thread at
    a time, but multiple threads may use multiple such objects safely. Other functions     those that are used to send entries to the journal, like
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_print</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    and similar, or those that are used to retrieve global information like
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_stream_fd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    and
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
     are thread-safe and may be called from multiple threads in parallel.</para>
