<B>addseverity</B>():
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since&nbsp;glibc&nbsp;2.19:
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;_DEFAULT_SOURCE
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Glibc&nbsp;2.19&nbsp;and&nbsp;earlier:

<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
This function allows the introduction of new severity classes
which can be addressed by the
<I>severity</I>
argument of the
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+fmtmsg">fmtmsg</A></B>(3)
function.
By default, that function knows only how to
print messages for severity 0-4 (with strings (none), HALT,
ERROR, WARNING, INFO).
This call attaches the given string
<I>s</I>
to the given value
<I>severity</I>.
If
<I>s</I>
is NULL, the severity class with the numeric value
<I>severity</I>
is removed.
It is not possible to overwrite or remove one of the default
severity classes.
The severity value must be nonnegative.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
Upon success, the value
<B>MM_OK</B>
is returned.
Upon error, the return value is
<B>MM_NOTOK</B>.
Possible errors include: out of memory, attempt to remove a
nonexistent or default severity class.
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
