<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_journal_query_unique()</function> 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
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
Field names must be specified without a trailing '='. After this
function has been executed successfully the field values may be
queried using <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>.
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.</para>
<para><function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function> may be
used to iterate through all data fields which match the previously
selected field name as set with
<function>sd_journal_query_unique()</function>. 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
<function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>. 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
<function>sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</function>.</para>
<para><function>sd_journal_restart_unique()</function> resets the
data enumeration index to the beginning of the list. The next
invocation of <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>
will return the first field data matching the field name
again.</para>
<para>Note that the
<function>SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_UNIQUE()</function> macro may be used
as a handy wrapper around
<function>sd_journal_restart_unique()</function> and
<function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>.</para>
<para>Note that these functions currently are not influenced by
matches set with <function>sd_journal_add_match()</function> but
this might change in a later version of this software.</para>
<para>To enumerate all field names currently in use (and thus all suitable field parameters for
<function>sd_journal_query_unique()</function>), use the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_enumerate_fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
call.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para><function>sd_journal_query_unique()</function> returns 0 on
success or a negative errno-style error code.
<function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function> 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.
<function>sd_journal_restart_unique()</function> returns
nothing.</para>
</refsect1>

<title>Notes</title>
<para>All functions listed here are thread-agnostic and only a single thread may operate
on a given <structname>sd_journal</structname> object.</para>
<xi:include href="libsystemd-pkgconfig.xml" xpointer="pkgconfig-text"/>

<title>Examples</title>
<para>Use the <function>SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_UNIQUE</function> macro
to iterate through all values a field of the journal can take. The
following example lists all unit names referenced in the
journal:</para>
<programlisting>#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;
}</programlisting>
