17 sd_journal_get_catalog() retrieves a message catalog entry for the
18 current journal entry. This will look up an entry in the message
19 catalog by using the "MESSAGE_ID=" field of the current journal entry.
20 Before returning the entry all journal field names in the catalog entry
21 text enclosed in "@" will be replaced by the respective field values of
22 the current entry. If a field name referenced in the message catalog
23 entry does not exist, in the current journal entry, the "@" will be
24 removed, but the field name otherwise left untouched.
25
26 sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id() works similar to
27 sd_journal_get_catalog() but the entry is looked up by the specified
28 message ID (no open journal context is necessary for this), and no
29 field substitution is performed.

31 For more information about the journal message catalog please refer to
32 the Journal Message Catalogs[1] documentation page.
33
35 sd_journal_get_catalog() and sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id()
36 return 0 on success or a negative errno-style error code. If no
37 matching message catalog entry is found, -ENOENT is returned.
38
39 On successful return, ret points to a new string, which must be freed
40 with free(3).

43 Function sd_journal_get_catalog() is thread-agnostic and only a single
44 thread may operate on a given sd_journal object. Function
45 sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id() is thread-safe.

47 These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled
