SD_JOURNAL_HAS_RUNTIME_FILES(3) sd_journal_has_runtime_files SD_JOURNAL_HAS_RUNTIME_FILES(3)

sd_journal_has_runtime_files, sd_journal_has_persistent_files - Query availability of runtime or persistent journal files

#include <elogind/sd-journal.h>

int sd_journal_has_runtime_files(sd_journal *j);

int sd_journal_has_persistent_files(sd_journal *j);

sd_journal_has_runtime_files() returns a positive value if runtime journal files (present in /run/systemd/journal/) have been found. Otherwise returns 0.

sd_journal_has_persistent_files() returns a positive value if persistent journal files (present in /var/log/journal/) have been found. Otherwise returns 0.

As elogind does not create journal files, the return value will always be 0.

Both sd_journal_has_runtime_files() and sd_journal_has_persistent_files() return -EINVAL if their argument is NULL.

These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the libelogind pkg-config(1) file.
