+
+                <para><function>sd_journal_query_unique()</function>
+                queries the journal for all unique values the
+                specified field can take. It takes two arguments: the
+                journal to query and the field name to look
+                for. Well-known field names are listed on
+                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Field
+                names must be specified without a trailing '='. After
+                this function has been executed successfully the field
+                values may be queried using
+                <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>. Invoking
+                this call a second time will change the field name
+                being queried and reset the enumeration index to the
+                first field value that matches.</para>
+
+                <para><function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>
+                may be used to iterate through all data fields which
+                match the previously selected field name as set with
+                <function>sd_journal_query_unique()</function>. On
+                each invocation the next field data matching the field
+                name is returned. The order of the returned data
+                fields is not defined. It takes three arguments: the
+                journal context object, plus a pair of pointers to
+                pointer/size variables where the data object and its
+                size shall be stored in. The returned data is in a
+                read-only memory map and is only valid until the next
+                invocation of
+                <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>. Note
+                that the data returned will be prefixed with the field
+                name and '='.</para>
+
+                <para><function>sd_journal_restart_unique()</function>
+                resets the data enumeration index to the beginning of
+                the list. The next invocation of
+                <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>
+                will return the first field data matching the field
+                name again.</para>
+
+                <para>Note that the
+                <function>SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_UNIQUE()</function> macro
+                may be used as a handy wrapper around
+                <function>sd_journal_restart_unique()</function> and
+                <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>.</para>
+
+                <para>Note that these functions currently are not
+                influenced by matches set with
+                <function>sd_journal_add_match()</function> but this
+                might change in a later version of this
+                software.</para>

+                code. <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>
+                returns a positive integer if the next field data has
+                been read, 0 when no more fields are known, or a
+                negative errno-style error
+                code. <function>sd_journal_restart_unique()</function>
