6 .TH ADDSEVERITY 3C "Dec 29, 1996"
8 addseverity \- build a list of severity levels for an application for use with
15 \fBint\fR \fBaddseverity\fR(\fBint\fR \fIseverity\fR, \fBconst char *\fR\fIstring\fR);
21 The \fBaddseverity()\fR function builds a list of severity levels for an
22 application to be used with the message formatting facility \fBfmtmsg()\fR. The
23 \fIseverity\fR argument is an integer value indicating the seriousness of the
24 condition. The \fIstring\fR argument is a pointer to a string describing the
25 condition (string is not limited to a specific size).
28 If \fBaddseverity()\fR is called with an integer value that has not been
29 previously defined, the function adds that new severity value and print string
30 to the existing set of standard severity levels.
33 If \fBaddseverity()\fR is called with an integer value that has been previously
34 defined, the function redefines that value with the new print string.
35 Previously defined severity levels may be removed by supplying the null string.
36 If \fBaddseverity()\fR is called with a negative number or an integer value of
37 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, the function fails and returns \fB\(mi1\fR\&. The values
38 0\(mi4 are reserved for the standard severity levels and cannot be modified.
39 Identifiers for the standard levels of severity are:
46 Indicates that the application has encountered a severe fault and is halting.
47 Produces the print string \fBHALT\fR.
56 Indicates that the application has detected a fault. Produces the print string
63 \fB\fBMM_WARNING\fR\fR
66 Indicates a condition that is out of the ordinary, that might be a problem, and
67 should be watched. Produces the print string \fBWARNING\fR.
76 Provides information about a condition that is not in error. Produces the print
86 Indicates that no severity level is supplied for the message.
91 Severity levels may also be defined at run time using the \fBSEV_LEVEL\fR
92 environment variable (see \fBfmtmsg\fR(3C)).
96 Upon successful completion, \fBaddseverity()\fR returns \fBMM_OK\fR. Otherwise
97 it returns \fBMM_NOTOK\fR.
100 \fBExample 1 \fRExample of \fBaddseverity()\fR function.
103 When the function call
108 addseverity(7,"ALERT")
114 is followed by the call
119 fmtmsg(MM_PRINT, "UX:cat", 7, "invalid syntax", "refer to manual",
126 the resulting output is
131 UX:cat: ALERT: invalid syntax
132 TO FIX: refer to manual UX:cat:001
