Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 5aded36978 man: add a mapping for external manpages
It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o.

Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies.

In generated html, add external links to
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/,
https://www.archlinux.org/.

By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael
Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff.

The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the
manpages.

Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from
archlinux.org.

Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found
on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does
not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and
deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?

<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>
</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>

<title>Notes</title>
<para>The <function>sd_journal_query_unique()</function>,
<function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function> and
<function>sd_journal_restart_unique()</function>
interfaces are 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>

<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 &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;string.h&gt;
#include &lt;systemd/sd-journal.h&gt;
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
sd_journal *j;
const void *d;
size_t l;
int r;
r = sd_journal_open(&amp;j, SD_JOURNAL_LOCAL_ONLY);
if (r &lt; 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to open journal: %s\n", strerror(-r));
return 1;
}
r = sd_journal_query_unique(j, "_SYSTEMD_UNIT");
if (r &lt; 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>
