Description
Nextline checks to see if there are more journal messages, and if so, copies them to the internal store. If any of the messages in the internal store haven't been previously been read by nextline (or skipped over via mark), then nextline returns the next unread message.
Nextline, along with clear and refresh, are the only methods which force an update to the internal store.
