<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_journal_stream_fd()</function> may be used to
create a log stream file descriptor. Log messages written to this
file descriptor as simple newline-separated text strings are
written to the journal. This file descriptor can be used
internally by applications or be made standard output or standard
error of other processes executed.</para>
<para><function>sd_journal_stream_fd()</function> takes a short
program identifier string as first argument, which will be written
to the journal as _SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER= field for each log entry
(see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information). The second argument shall be the default
priority level for all messages. The priority level is one of
<constant>LOG_EMERG</constant>, <constant>LOG_ALERT</constant>,
<constant>LOG_CRIT</constant>, <constant>LOG_ERR</constant>,
<constant>LOG_WARNING</constant>, <constant>LOG_NOTICE</constant>,
<constant>LOG_INFO</constant>, <constant>LOG_DEBUG</constant>, as
defined in <filename>syslog.h</filename>, see
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details. The third argument is a boolean: if true kernel-style
log level prefixes (such as <constant>SD_WARNING</constant>) are
interpreted, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-daemon</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information.</para>
<para>It is recommended that applications log UTF-8 messages only
with this API, but this is not enforced.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>The call returns a valid write-only file descriptor on
success or a negative errno-style error code.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Notes</title>
<para>Function <function>sd_journal_stream_fd()</function> is thread-safe and may be called
from multiple threads. All calls will return the same file descriptor, although temporarily
multiple file descriptors may be open.</para>
<para>The <function>sd_journal_stream_fd()</function> interface is
available as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to
with the
<constant>libsystemd</constant> <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
file.</para>
