48
49    <para><function>sd_journal_get_cutoff_realtime_usec()</function>
50    retrieves the realtime (wallclock) timestamps of the first and
51    last entries accessible in the journal. It takes three arguments:
52    the journal context object <parameter>j</parameter> and two
53    pointers <parameter>from</parameter> and <parameter>to</parameter>
54    pointing at 64-bit unsigned integers to store the timestamps in.
55    The timestamps are in microseconds since the epoch, i.e.
56    <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant>. Either one of the two
57    timestamp arguments may be passed as <constant>NULL</constant> in
58    case the timestamp is not needed, but not both.</para>
59
60    <para><function>sd_journal_get_cutoff_monotonic_usec()</function>
61    retrieves the monotonic timestamps of the first and last entries
62    accessible in the journal. It takes three arguments: the journal
63    context object <parameter>j</parameter>, a 128-bit identifier for
64    the boot <parameter>boot_id</parameter>, and two pointers to
65    64-bit unsigned integers to store the timestamps,
66    <parameter>from</parameter> and <parameter>to</parameter>. The
67    timestamps are in microseconds since boot-up of the specific boot,
68    i.e. <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>. Since the monotonic
69    clock begins new with every reboot it only defines a well-defined
70    point in time when used together with an identifier identifying
71    the boot, see
72    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_get_boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
73    for more information. The function will return the timestamps for
74    the boot identified by the passed boot ID. Either one of the two
75    timestamp arguments may be passed as <constant>NULL</constant> in
76    case the timestamp is not needed, but not both.</para>

80    <title>Return Value</title>
81
82    <para><function>sd_journal_get_cutoff_realtime_usec()</function>
83    and <function>sd_journal_get_cutoff_monotonic_usec()</function>
84    return 1 on success, 0 if not suitable entries are in the journal
85    or a negative errno-style error code.</para>
86
87    <para>Locations pointed to by parameters
88    <parameter>from</parameter> and <parameter>to</parameter> will be
89    set only if the return value is positive, and obviously, the
90    parameters are non-null.</para>
