Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Michal Sekletar 2017-01-02 12:17:47 UTC
Description of problem:
In commit https://github.com/lnykryn/systemd-rhel/commit/5ec508cc5c13d831c93ce98d84b1d9cedb0117a7 we have added two new APIs. These APIs are now used internally from journalctl. Despite being marked as _public_, we do not export them because they've never been added to respective .sym file. There are applications that would like to make use of them, e.g. rsyslog's imjournal module.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-219-30.el7_3.6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install -y systemd-devel
2. cat > /tmp/sd-journal-has-persistent-files.c << EOF
#include <stdio.h>
#include <systemd/sd-journal.h>

int main() {
        int r;
        sd_journal *j;
        
        sd_journal_open(&j, SD_JOURNAL_LOCAL_ONLY);
        
        r = sd_journal_has_persistent_files(j);
        
        sd_journal_close(j);
        
        return r;
}
EOF
3. gcc /tmp/sd-journal-has-persistent-files.c -lsystemd
4. ./a.out
5. echo $?

Actual results:
Compilation (step 3) returns following error,
/tmp/cco975MF.o: In function `main':
sd-journal-has-persistent.c:(.text+0x21): undefined reference to `sd_journal_has_persistent_files'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Expected results:
Compilation and execution are successful

Additional info:
We need to backport https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/9a07f779bbeacc3358d405f6cf583506aaf655ae or came up with similar patch due to different versioning between upstream and RHEL7.
