+       The  ANDROID_LOG_PSTORE mode flag to the android_logger_open is used to
+       switch from the active logs to the persistent logs from before the last
+       reboot.

        The value returned by android_logger_open can be used as a parameter to
        the  android_logger_clear  function to empty the sub-log.  It is recom‐
        mended to only open log ANDROID_LOG_WRONLY in that case.
