Calling Pattern
Call
local j = sl.journal()
later
local a,b = j.mark(at[,fromcurrent])
Arguments
at is a number fromcurrent (optional) is a boolean, default is false
Returns
a is a number, the number of messages skipped over b is a number, the number of unread lines since last mark or nextline call
Description
Mark sets index to the last read line used by the nextline method. Mark either sets the absolute position of the last read line, or if the optional second parameter is true, the position is set relative to the current index. Mark returns the number of messages skipped over and the remaining number of unread messages.
