- The argument is a 128 bit ID given in
- short or UUID form and optionally followed by
- :n which identifies the nth
- boot relative to the boot ID given to the left
- of :. Supplying a negative
- value for n will look for a past boot and a
- positive value for a future boot. The boot IDs
- are searched for in chronological order. If no
- number is provided after :,
- -1 is assumed. A value of 0
- is valid and equivalent to omitting
- :0.
-
- Alternatively, the argument may constist
- only of :n. In this case, a
- positive value will look up the nth boot
- starting from the beginning of the jouranl, a
- negative value will look up a previous boot
- relative to the current boot. :0
- will look for the current boot ID. Thus,
- :1 is the first boot found in
- the journal, :2 the second
- and so on; while :-1 is the
- previous boot, :-2 the boot
- before that and so on. Omitting a value after
- : will look for the previous
- boot.
+ The argument may be empty, in which case
+ logs for the current boot will be shown.
+
+ If the boot ID is omitted, a positive
+ offset will look up
+ the boots starting from the beginning of the
+ journal, and a equal-or-less-than zero
+ offset will look up
+ boots starting from the end of the
+ journal. Thus, 1 means the
+ first boot found in the journal in the
+ chronological order, 2 the
+ second and so on; while -0
+ is the last boot, -1 the
+ boot before that, and so on. An empty
+ offset is equivalent
+ to specifying -0, except
+ when the current boot is not the last boot
+ (e.g. because was
+ specified to look at logs from a different
+ machine).
+
+ If the 32 character
+ ID is specified, it
+ may optionally be followed by
+ offset which
+ identifies the boot relative to the one given by
+ boot ID. Negative
+ values mean earlier boots and a positive values
+ mean later boots. If
+ offset is not
+ specified, a value of zero is assumed and the
+ logs for the boot given by
+ ID are shown.
