ADDSEVERITY(3)		   Linux Programmer's Manual		ADDSEVERITY(3)

NAME
       addseverity - introduce new severity classes

SYNOPSIS
       #define _SVID_SOURCE
       #include <fmtmsg.h>

       int addseverity(int severity, const char *s);

DESCRIPTION
       This function allows the introduction of new severity classes which can
       be addressed by the severity parameter of the  fmtmsg(3)	 function.  By
       default	that  latter  function	only  knows  how to print messages for
       severity 0-4 (with strings (none), HALT, ERROR,	WARNING,  INFO).  This
       call  attaches the given string s to the given value severity.  If s is
       NULL, the severity class with the numeric value	severity  is  removed.
       It  is  not possible to overwrite or remove one of the default severity
       classes. The severity value must be nonnegative.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon success, the value MM_OK is returned. Upon error, the return value
       is MM_NOTOK.  Possible errors include: out of memory, attempt to remove
       a nonexistent or default severity class.

NOTE
       New severity classes can also be added by setting the environment vari‐
       able SEV_LEVEL.

CONFORMING TO
       This function is not specified in the X/Open Portability Guide although
       the fmtsmg() function is.  It is available on System V systems.
