    <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>

    <title>Return Value</title>

    <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>

    <para>All functions listed here are thread-agnostic and only a single thread may operate
    on a given <structname>sd_journal</structname> object.</para>

    <para>The

    interfaces are available as a shared library, which can be
    compiled and linked to with the
