This function allows the introduction of new severity classes which can be
addressed by the severity parameter of the fmtmsg
function.
The severity parameter of addseverity
must match the value
for the parameter with the same name of fmtmsg
, and string
is the string printed in the actual messages instead of the numeric
value.
If string is NULL
the severity class with the numeric value
according to severity is removed.
It is not possible to overwrite or remove one of the default severity
classes. All calls to addseverity
with severity set to one
of the values for the default classes will fail.
The return value is MM_OK
if the task was successfully performed.
If the return value is MM_NOTOK
something went wrong. This could
mean that no more memory is available or a class is not available when
it has to be removed.
This function is not specified in the X/Open Portability Guide although
the fmtsmg
function is. It is available on System V systems.
