+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para><command>journalctl</command> may be used to query the contents of the
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> journal as
+    written by
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-journald.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+    <para>If called without parameters, it will show the full contents of the journal, starting with the
+    oldest entry collected.</para>
+
+    <para>If one or more match arguments are passed, the output is filtered accordingly. A match is in the
+    format <literal>FIELD=VALUE</literal>, e.g. <literal>_SYSTEMD_UNIT=httpd.service</literal>, referring to
+    the components of a structured journal entry. See
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    for a list of well-known fields. If multiple matches are specified matching different fields, the log
+    entries are filtered by both, i.e. the resulting output will show only entries matching all the specified
+    matches of this kind. If two matches apply to the same field, then they are automatically matched as
+    alternatives, i.e. the resulting output will show entries matching any of the specified matches for the
+    same field. Finally, the character <literal>+</literal> may appear as a separate word between other terms
+    on the command line. This causes all matches before and after to be combined in a disjunction
+    (i.e. logical OR).</para>
+
+    <para>It is also possible to filter the entries by specifying an absolute file path as an argument. The
+    file path may be a file or a symbolic link and the file must exist at the time of the query. If a file
+    path refers to an executable binary, an <literal>_EXE=</literal> match for the canonicalized binary path
+    is added to the query. If a file path refers to an executable script, a <literal>_COMM=</literal> match
+    for the script name is added to the query. If a file path refers to a device node,
+    <literal>_KERNEL_DEVICE=</literal> matches for the kernel name of the device and for each of its ancestor
+    devices is added to the query. Symbolic links are dereferenced, kernel names are synthesized, and parent
+    devices are identified from the environment at the time of the query. In general, a device node is the
+    best proxy for an actual device, as log entries do not usually contain fields that identify an actual
+    device. For the resulting log entries to be correct for the actual device, the relevant parts of the
+    environment at the time the entry was logged, in particular the actual device corresponding to the device
+    node, must have been the same as those at the time of the query. Because device nodes generally change
+    their corresponding devices across reboots, specifying a device node path causes the resulting entries to
+    be restricted to those from the current boot.</para>
+
+    <para>Additional constraints may be added using options <option>--boot</option>,
+    <option>--unit=</option>, etc., to further limit what entries will be shown (logical AND).</para>
+
+    <para>Output is interleaved from all accessible journal files, whether they are rotated or currently
+    being written, and regardless of whether they belong to the system itself or are accessible user
+    journals. The <option>--header</option> option can be used to identify which files
+    <emphasis>are</emphasis> being shown.</para>
+
+    <para>The set of journal files which will be used can be modified using the <option>--user</option>,
+    <option>--system</option>, <option>--directory</option>, and <option>--file</option> options, see
+    below.</para>
+
+    <para>All users are granted access to their private per-user journals. However, by default, only root and
+    users who are members of a few special groups are granted access to the system journal and the journals
+    of other users. Members of the groups <literal>systemd-journal</literal>, <literal>adm</literal>, and
+    <literal>wheel</literal> can read all journal files. Note that the two latter groups traditionally have
+    additional privileges specified by the distribution. Members of the <literal>wheel</literal> group can
+    often perform administrative tasks.</para>
+
+    <para>The output is paged through <command>less</command> by default, and long lines are "truncated" to
+    screen width. The hidden part can be viewed by using the left-arrow and right-arrow keys. Paging can be
+    disabled; see the <option>--no-pager</option> option and the "Environment" section below.</para>
+
+    <para>When outputting to a tty, lines are colored according to priority: lines of level ERROR and higher
+    are colored red; lines of level NOTICE and higher are highlighted; lines of level DEBUG are colored
+    lighter grey; other lines are displayed normally.</para>
