.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
This function allows the introduction of new severity classes
|
|
|
|
|
which can be addressed by the
|
|
|
|
|
.I severity
|
2008-07-10 20:53:08 +00:00
|
|
|
argument of the
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
.BR fmtmsg (3)
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
function.
|
|
|
|
|
By default that latter function only knows how to
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
print messages for severity 0-4 (with strings (none), HALT,
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
ERROR, WARNING, INFO).
|
|
|
|
|
This call attaches the given string
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
.I s
|
|
|
|
|
to the given value
|
|
|
|
|
.IR severity .
|
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
|
.I s
|
|
|
|
|
is NULL, the severity class with the numeric value
|
|
|
|
|
.I severity
|
|
|
|
|
is removed.
|
|
|
|
|
It is not possible to overwrite or remove one of the default
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
severity classes.

The tendency in English, as prescribed in style guides like
Chicago MoS, is towards removing hyphens after prefixes
like "non-" etc.
