Tom Gundersen 12b42c7667 man: revert dynamic paths for split-usr setups
This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream
introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a
downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the
current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release.

 * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the
   search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search
   path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is
   worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we
   could ship this.

 * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend
   on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing
   man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before
   we could ship with this patch.

 * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order
   to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start
   adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should
   probably question if it makes sense at all.

<title>Description</title>
<para>
<filename>systemd-journal-remote</filename> is a command to
receive serialized journal events and store them to the journal.
Input streams are in the
<ulink url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/export">
Journal Export Format
</ulink>,
i.e. like the output from
<command>journalctl --output=export</command>. For transport over
the network, this serialized stream is usually carried over an
HTTPS connection.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Sources</title>
<para>
Sources can be either "active"
(<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> requests and pulls
the data), or "passive"
(<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> waits for a
connection and then receives events pushed by the other side).
</para>
<para>
<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> can read more than one
event stream at a time. They will be interleaved in the output
file. In case of "active" connections, each "source" is one
stream, and in case of "passive" connections, each connection can
result in a separate stream. Sockets can be configured in
"accept" mode (i.e. only one connection), or "listen" mode (i.e.
multiple connections, each resulting in a stream).
</para>
<para>
When there are no more connections, and no more can be created
(there are no listening sockets), then
<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> will exit.
</para>
<para>Active sources can be specified in the following
ways:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<listitem><para>When <option>-</option> is given as a
positional argument, events will be read from standard input.
Other positional arguments will be treated as filenames
to open and read from.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--url=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>With the
<option>--url=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option> option,
events will be retrieved using HTTP from
<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable>. This URL should refer to the
root of a remote
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-journal-gatewayd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
instance (e.g. <ulink>http://some.host:19531/</ulink> or
<ulink>https://some.host:19531/</ulink>).</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>Passive sources can be specified in the following
ways:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--listen-raw=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para><replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable> must be an
address suitable for <option>ListenStream=</option> (cf.
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> will listen on this
socket for connections. Each connection is expected to be a
stream of journal events.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--listen-http=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option></term>
<term><option>--listen-https=<replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para><replaceable>ADDRESS</replaceable> must be
either a negative integer, in which case it will be
interpreted as the (negated) file descriptor number, or an
address suitable for <option>ListenStream=</option> (c.f.
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
In the first case, matching file descriptor must be inherited
through
<varname>$LISTEN_FDS</varname>/<varname>$LISTEN_PID</varname>.
In the second case, an HTTP or HTTPS server will be spawned on
this port, respectively for <option>--listen-http</option> and
<option>--listen-https</option>. Currently, only POST requests
to <filename>/upload</filename> with <literal>Content-Type:
application/vnd.fdo.journal</literal> are supported.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>$LISTEN_FDS</varname></term>
<listitem><para><command>systemd-journal-remote</command>
supports the
<varname>$LISTEN_FDS</varname>/<varname>$LISTEN_PID</varname>
protocol. Open sockets inherited through socket activation
behave like those opened with <option>--listen-raw=</option>
described above, unless they are specified as an argument in
<option>--listen-http=-<replaceable>n</replaceable></option>
or
<option>--listen-https=-<replaceable>n</replaceable></option>
above. In the latter case, an HTTP or HTTPS server will be
spawned using this descriptor and connections must be made
over the HTTP protocol.</para>

<para>The location of the output journal can be specified
