Matches + are of the form <literal>FIELD=value</literal>, where + the field part is a short uppercase string consisting + only of 0-9, A-Z and the underscore. It may not begin + with two underscores or be the empty string. The value + part may be any value, including binary. If a match is + applied only entries with this field set will be + iterated. Multiple matches may be active at the same + time: if they apply to different fields only entries + with both fields set like this will be iterated, if + they apply to the same fields only entries where the + field takes one of the specified values will be + iterated. Well known fields are documented in + <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
