Shift the asterisks in the documentation's prototypes such that they
are consistent among each other. Use the right side to match what is
used in source code.
Addendum to commit v209~82.
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various
issue spotted. I guess I can just skip over reporting ubiquitous
comma placement fixes…
Highligts in this particular commit:
- the "unsigned" type qualifier is completed to form a full type
"unsigned int"
- alphabetic -> lexicographic (that way we automatically define how
numbers get sorted)
Before: libsystemd-daemonpkg-config(1)
After: libsystemd-daemon pkg-config(1)
This fix is more complicated than it should be due to the consecutive
XML elements separated by collapsible whitespace.
Merging the lines and separating the XML elements with an en space or a
non-breaking space is the only solution that results in one, and only
one, space being inserted between them when testing. An em space results
in two spaces being inserted.
This introduces a new data threshold setting for sd_journal objects
which controls the maximum size of objects to decompress. This is
relieves the library from having to decompress full data objects even
if a client program is only interested in the initial part of them.
This speeds up "systemd-coredumpctl" drastically when invoked without
parameters.
The new 'unique' API allows listing all unique field values that a field
specified by a field name can take in all entries of the journal. This
allows answering queries such as "What units logged to the journal?",
"What hosts have logged into the journal?", "Which boot IDs have logged
into the journal?".
Ultimately this allows implementation of tools similar to lastlog based
on journal data.
Note that listing these field values will not work for journal files
created with older journald, as the field values are not indexed in
older files.
