+    <function>sd_journal_process()</function> needs to be called to

+    until the journal gets changed. The maximum time this call sleeps
+    may be controlled with the <parameter>timeout_usec</parameter>

+    certain latency. This call will return a positive value if the
+    journal changes are detected immediately and zero when they need
+    to be polled for and hence might be noticed only with a certain
+    latency. Note that there's usually no need to invoke this function
+    directly as <function>sd_journal_get_timeout()</function> on these
