                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
                <a href="systemd.journal-fields.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">systemd.journal-fields</span>(7)</span></a>. Field
                names must be specified without a trailing '='. After
                this function has been executed successfully the field
                values may be queried using
                <code class="function">sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</code>. 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.</p><p><code class="function">sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</code>
                may be used to iterate through all data fields which
                match the previously selected field name as set with
                <code class="function">sd_journal_query_unique()</code>. 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
                <code class="function">sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</code>. 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
                <code class="function">sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</code>.</p><p><code class="function">sd_journal_restart_unique()</code>
                resets the data enumeration index to the beginning of
                the list. The next invocation of
                <code class="function">sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</code>
                will return the first field data matching the field
                name again.</p><p>Note that the
                <code class="function">SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_UNIQUE()</code> macro
                may be used as a handy wrapper around
                <code class="function">sd_journal_restart_unique()</code> and
                <code class="function">sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</code>.</p><p>Note that these functions currently are not
                influenced by matches set with
                <code class="function">sd_journal_add_match()</code> but this
                might change in a later version of this
                software.</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a name="idm259782890000"></a><h2 id="Return Value">Return Value<a class="headerlink" title="Permalink to this headline" href="#Return%20Value">¶</a></h2><p><code class="function">sd_journal_query_unique()</code>
