-                when reading. As first argument it takes a pointer to
-                a <literal>sd_journal</literal> pointer, which on
-                success will contain journal context object afterwards. The

+
+    <para><function>sd_journal_open()</function> opens the log journal
+    for reading. It will find all journal files automatically and
+    interleave them automatically when reading. As first argument it
+    takes a pointer to a <varname>sd_journal</varname> pointer, which
+    on success will contain a journal context object. The second
+    argument is a flags field, which may consist of the following
+    flags ORed together: <constant>SD_JOURNAL_LOCAL_ONLY</constant>
+    makes sure only journal files generated on the local machine will
+    be opened. <constant>SD_JOURNAL_RUNTIME_ONLY</constant> makes sure
+    only volatile journal files will be opened, excluding those which
+    are stored on persistent storage.
+    <constant>SD_JOURNAL_SYSTEM</constant> will cause journal files of
+    system services and the kernel (in opposition to user session
+    processes) to be opened.
+    <constant>SD_JOURNAL_CURRENT_USER</constant> will cause journal
+    files of the current user to be opened. If neither

+

+    will be opened and interleaved automatically. This call also takes
+    a flags argument, but it must be passed as 0 as no flags are
+    currently understood for this call.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_journal_open_files()</function> is similar to
+    <function>sd_journal_open()</function> but takes a
+    <constant>NULL</constant>-terminated list of file paths to open.
+    All files will be opened and interleaved automatically. This call
+    also takes a flags argument, but it must be passed as 0 as no
+    flags are currently understood for this call. Please note that in
+    the case of a live journal, this function is only useful for
+    debugging, because individual journal files can be rotated at any
+    moment, and the opening of specific files is inherently
+    racy.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_journal_open_container()</function> is similar
