Libguestfs - Mar 2015 - [PATCH v3] RFE: journal reader in guestfish

There seems to be a minor issue when user wants to run it through pager (more)
and wants cancel it. User will end up with stuck guestfish until journal-view
transfers all journal items.

Output is now configurable, it's the same format as virt-log has, since both
uses same code now.

Maros Zatko (1):
  fish: add journal-view command

1.9.3

Lets user view journald log from VM in a similar format as journalctl uses.

Makes virt-log use the same code as guestfish for journal-view.

Fixes RFE: journal reader in guestfish (RHBZ#988100)

I think this patch could be in two parts, one where you move the
journal_view() code from cat/log.c into fish/journal.c, and a second
part where you add the extra command.  More comments below.

This returns NULL if the field doesn't exist, but ..

... if lookup_field returns NULL, then get_journal_field will
segfault.

So I think lookup_field should print an error and call exit (EXIT_FAILURE)
if the field is not found.

You need to document a couple of things here:

(1) That there is an optional extra parameter ('fields').

(2) At least a summary of how to specify the fields parameter and what
the fields characters mean.
