NAME
addsev() — define additional severities for formatting routines
SYNOPSIS
#include <pfmt.h>
int addsev(int sev, const char *sev_string);
DESCRIPTION
The
addsev()
routine allows the user to define additional severities to be used by
formatting routines (see
pfmt(3C))
in the standard message format.
sev
is the severity level.
It must be between 5 and 255 inclusively.
sev_string
is a character string to be associated for this severity level.
If the severity component of the
flags
parameter of the formatting routines matches
sev,
sev_string
is printed as the severity string.
The
addsev()
routine may be called multiple times to
set up a list of associations.
If
sev
is already set,
sev_string
overwrites the previous string.
If
sev_string
is NULL,
the association is removed from the list.
addsev()
assumes that
sev_string
has already been translated into a locale-specific string using the
current locale.
RETURN VALUE
If successful,
addsev()
returns zero.
Otherwise, it returns
-1.
EXAMPLE
#define MM_USER 10
addsev(MM_USER, "MY_NOTE");
pfmt(stdout, MM_USER|MM_GET,"my_appl_cat:1:The file is writable");
This example writes the following message to standard output:
MY_NOTE: The file is writable
STANDARDS COMPLIANCE
addsev(): SVID3
