  75
  76                 <para><function>sd_journal_get_cutoff_realtime_usec()</function>
  77                 gets the realtime (wallclock) timestamps of the first
  78                 and last entries accessible in the journal.  It takes
  79                 three arguments: the journal context object and two
  80                 pointers to 64 Bit unsigned integers to store the
  81                 timestamps in. The timestamps are in microseconds
  82                 since the epoch, i.e. CLOCK_REALTIME. Either one of
  83                 the two timestamp arguments may be passed as NULL in
  84                 case the timestamp is not needed, but not both.</para>
  85
  86                 <para><function>sd_journal_get_cutoff_monotonic_usec()</function>
  87                 gets the monotonic timestamps of the first and last
  88                 entries accessible in the journal. It takes three
  89                 arguments: the journal context object, a 128 Bit
  90                 identifier for the boot, and two pointers to 64 Bit
  91                 unsigned integers to store the timestamps. The
  92                 timestamps are in microseconds since boot-up of the
  93                 specific boot, i.e. CLOCK_MONOTONIC. Since the
  94                 monotonic clock begins new with every reboot it only
  95                 defines a well-defined point in time when used
  96                 together with an identifier identifying the boot, see
  97                 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_get_boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
  98                 for more information. The function will return the
  99                 timestamps for the boot identified by the passed boot
 100                 ID. Either one of the two timestamp arguments may be
 101                 passed as NULL in case the timestamp is not needed,
 102                 but not both.</para>
