+ and <function>sd_journal_print()</function> may
+ largely be used interchangeably
+ functionality-wise. However, note that log messages
+ logged via the former take a different path to the
+ journal server than the later, and hence global
+ chronological ordering between the two streams cannot
+ be guaranteed. Using
+ <function>sd_journal_print()</function> has the
+ benefit of logging source code line, filenames, and
+ functions as meta data along all entries, and
+ guaranteeing chronological ordering with structured
+ log entries that are generated via
+ <function>sd_journal_send()</function>. Using
+ <function>syslog()</function> has the benefit of being
+ more portable.</para>
