+== NAME
+
+sdjournal - Provide an interface to capture systemd journal entries.
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+[manarg]
+*sdjournal*
+[ *--help* ]
+[ *--version* ]
+[ *--extcap-interfaces* ]
+[ *--extcap-dlts* ]
+[ *--extcap-interface*=<interface> ]
+[ *--extcap-config* ]
+[ *--capture* ]
+[ *--fifo*=<path to file or pipe> ]
+[ *--start-from*=<entry count> ]
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+*sdjournal* is an extcap tool that allows one to capture systemd
+journal entries. It can be used to correlate system events with
+network traffic.
+
+Supported interfaces:
+
+1. sdjournal
+
+== OPTIONS
+
+--help::
+Print program arguments.
+
+--version::
+Print program version.
+
+--extcap-interfaces::
+List available interfaces.
+
+--extcap-interface=<interface>::
+Use specified interfaces.
+
+--extcap-dlts::
+List DLTs of specified interface.
+
+--extcap-config::
+List configuration options of specified interface.
+
+--capture::
+Start capturing from specified interface and write raw packet data to the location specified by --fifo.
+
+--fifo=<path to file or pipe>::
+Save captured packet to file or send it through pipe.
+
+--start-from=<entry count>::
++
+--
+Start from the last <entry count> entries, similar to the
+"-n" or "--lines" argument for the tail(1) command. Values prefixed
+with a *+* sign start from the beginning of the journal, otherwise
+the count starts from the end. The default value is 10. To include
+all entries use *+0*.
+--
+
+== EXAMPLES
+
+To see program arguments:
+
+ sdjournal --help
+
+To see program version:
+
+ sdjournal --version
+
+To see interfaces:
+
+ sdjournal --extcap-interfaces
+
+Only one interface (sdjournal) is supported.
+
+.Example output
+ interface {value=sdjournal}{display=systemd journal capture}
+
+To see interface DLTs:
+
+ sdjournal --extcap-interface=sdjournal --extcap-dlts
+
+.Example output
+ dlt {number=147}{name=sdjournal}{display=USER0}
+
+To see interface configuration options:
+
+ sdjournal --extcap-interface=sdjournal --extcap-config
+
+.Example output
+ arg {number=0}{call=--start-from}{display=Starting position}{type=string}
+ {tooltip=The journal starting position. Values with a leading "+" start from the beginning, similar to the "tail" command}
+
+To capture:
+
+ sdjournal --extcap-interface=sdjournal --fifo=/tmp/sdjournal.pcap --capture
+
+To capture all entries since the system was booted:
+
+ sdjournal --extcap-interface=sdjournal --fifo=/tmp/sdjournal.pcap --capture --start-from +0
+
+NOTE: To stop capturing CTRL+C/kill/terminate the application.
