In my googling around I did see a API spec for the journal database.
No, I don't think I specifically bookmarked it.

I did mention scripting and yes there is an API for journal in scripting languages:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyjournalctl/

So they must have drawn on a published API.

Lets see, googling for "systemd journal api" returne this at the top of the list

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/sd-journal.html
"APIs for submitting and querying log entries to and from the journal"


As for compatible commitment, can you show me a similar statement for other
binary media such as eBooks or the binary format used by the Linux link-loader?
