.SH NAME
addsev \- define additional severities
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <pfmt.h>

\fBint\fR \fBaddsev\fR(\fBint\fR \fIint_val\fR, \fBconst char *\fR\fIstring\fR);
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBaddsev()\fR function defines additional severities for use in subsequent
calls to \fBpfmt\fR(3C) or \fBlfmt\fR(3C). It associates an integer value
\fIint_val\fR in the range [5-255] with a character \fIstring\fR, overwriting
any previous string association between \fIint_val\fR and \fIstring\fR.
.sp
.LP
If \fIint_val\fR is OR-ed with the \fIflags\fR argument passed to subsequent
calls to \fBpfmt()\fR or \fBlfmt()\fR, \fIstring\fR will be used as severity.
Passing a null \fIstring\fR removes the severity.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fBaddsev()\fR returns \fB0\fR.  Otherwise it
returns\fB\(mi1\fR\&.
.SH USAGE
.sp
.LP
Only the standard severities are automatically displayed for the locale in
effect at runtime. An application must provide the means for displaying
locale-specific versions of add-on severities. Add-on severities are only
effective within the applications defining them.
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
\fBExample 1 \fRExample of \fBaddsev()\fR function.

The following example

.nf
#define Panic 5
setlabel("APPL");
setcat("my_appl");
addsev(Panic, gettxt(":26", "PANIC"));
/* .\|.\|. */
lfmt(stderr, MM_SOFT|MM_APPL|PANIC, ":12:Cannot locate database\en");
.fi
.in -2

will display the message to \fIstderr\fR and forward to the logging service
