    journal for all unique values the specified field can take. It
    takes two arguments: the journal to query and the field name to
    look for. Well-known field names are listed on
    <a href="systemd.journal-fields.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">systemd.journal-fields</span>(7)</span></a>.
    Field names must be specified without a trailing '='. After this
    function has been executed successfully the field values may be
    queried using <code class="function">sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</code>.
    Invoking this call a second time will change the field name being
    queried and reset the enumeration index to the first field value
    that matches.</p><p><code class="function">sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</code> may be
    used to iterate through all data fields which match the previously
    selected field name as set with
    <code class="function">sd_journal_query_unique()</code>. On each invocation
    the next field data matching the field name is returned. The order
    of the returned data fields is not defined. It takes three
    arguments: the journal context object, plus a pair of pointers to
    pointer/size variables where the data object and its size shall be
    stored in. The returned data is in a read-only memory map and is
    only valid until the next invocation of
    <code class="function">sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</code>. Note that the
    data returned will be prefixed with the field name and '='. Note
    that this call is subject to the data field size threshold as
    controlled by
    <code class="function">sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</code>.</p><p><code class="function">sd_journal_restart_unique()</code> resets the
    data enumeration index to the beginning of the list. The next
    invocation of <code class="function">sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</code>
    will return the first field data matching the field name
    again.</p><p>Note that the
    <code class="function">SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_UNIQUE()</code> macro may be used
    as a handy wrapper around
    <code class="function">sd_journal_restart_unique()</code> and
    <code class="function">sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</code>.</p><p>Note that these functions currently are not influenced by
    matches set with <code class="function">sd_journal_add_match()</code> but
    this might change in a later version of this software.</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a name="idm47078173121136"></a><h2 id="Return Value">Return Value<a class="headerlink" title="Permalink to this headline" href="#Return%20Value">¶</a></h2><p><code class="function">sd_journal_query_unique()</code> returns 0 on
