I needed to merge journals, which involves using the
--merge
flag when callingjournalctl
. Since I couldn't find a way to do this in the current implementation, I propose the following solution.The structure
JournalReaderConfig
is augmented with a fieldFlags
that contains an array of constants. If theFlags
array is not empty, the methodNewJournalWithFlags
is called with the bitwise OR of the values in the array.
