journald is a separate module in the systemd tree, so this is very likely possible. You have both the code implementing the daemon and the one using it available to study, so the interface.
- lmm 11y agoThe issue is that systemd might change that interface at any time, even in a minor or patch release. Because systemd's released as a single monolithic project, they don't have to commit to any standardization, deprecation cycle or the like for the interface between components.
- jononor 11y agoYep, no stable interface for journald. Someone is gonna have to prove to them it is needed, by implementing something useful that utilizes said interface. but as documented previously in thread, for plenty of their components they have committed to stable, documented interfaces.
