+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_get_realtime_usec()</function> gets the
+ realtime (wallclock) timestamp of the current journal entry. It
+ takes two arguments: the journal context object and a pointer to a
+ 64-bit unsigned integer to store the timestamp in. The timestamp
+ is in microseconds since the epoch, i.e.
+ <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec()</function> gets
+ the monotonic timestamp of the current journal entry. It takes
+ three arguments: the journal context object, a pointer to a 64-bit
+ unsigned integer to store the timestamp in, as well as a 128-bit
+ ID buffer to store the boot ID of the monotonic timestamp. The
+ timestamp is in microseconds since boot-up of the specific boot,
+ i.e. <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>. Since the monotonic
+ clock begins new with every reboot, it only defines a well-defined
+ point in time when used together with an identifier identifying
+ the boot. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_get_boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information. If the boot ID parameter is passed
+ <constant>NULL</constant>, the function will fail if the monotonic
+ timestamp of the current entry is not of the current system
+ boot.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that these functions will not work before
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ (or related call) has been called at least
+ once, in order to position the read pointer at a valid entry.</para>

+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_get_realtime_usec()</function> and
+ <function>sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec()</function> returns 0 on
+ success or a negative errno-style error code. If the boot ID
+ parameter was passed <constant>NULL</constant> and the monotonic
+ timestamp of the current journal entry is not of the current
+ system boot, <constant>-ESTALE</constant> is returned by
+ <function>sd_journal_get_monotonic_usec()</function>.</para>
