NAME
     fmtmsg - message display structures

SYNOPSIS
     #include <fmtmsg.h>

DESCRIPTION
     The <fmtmsg.h> header defines the following macros, which expand to
     constant integral expressions:

     MMHARD      Source of the condition is hardware.
     MMSOFT      Source of the condition is software.
     MMFIRM      Source of the condition is firmware.

     MMAPPL      Condition detected by application.
     MMUTIL      Condition detected by utility.
     MMOPSYS     Condition detected by operating system.

     MMRECOVER   Recoverable error.
     MMNRECOV    Non-recoverable error.
     MMHALT      Error causing application to halt.
     MMERROR     Application has encountered a non-fatal fault.
     MMWARNING   Application has detected unusual non-error condition.
     MMINFO      Informative message.
     MMNOSEV     No severity level provided for the message.

     MMPRINT     Display message on standard error.
     MMCONSOLE   Display message on system console.

     The table below indicates the null values and identifiers for fmtmsg()
     arguments. The <fmtmsg.h> header defines the macros in the Identifier
     column, which expand to constant expressions that expand to expres-
     sions of the type indicated in the Type column:

                 Argument     Type     Null-Value   Identifier
                 _____________________________________________
                 label      char*      (char*)0     MMNULLLBL
                 severity   int        0            MMNULLSEV
                 class      long int   0L           MMNULLMC
                 text       char*      (char*)0     MMNULLTXT
                 action     char*      (char*)0     MMNULLACT
                 tag        char*      (char*)0     MMNULLTAG

fmtmsg(5)                                                         fmtmsg(5)

     The <fmtmsg.h> header also defines the following macros for use as
     return values for fmtmsg(3C):

     MMOK         The function succeeded.
     MMNOTOK      The function failed completely.
     MMNOMSG      The function was unable to generate a message on stan-
                   dard error, but otherwise succeeded.
     MMNOCON      The function was unable to generate a console message,
                   but otherwise succeeded.

     The following is declared as a function and may also be defined as a
     macro:

     int fmtmsg(long classification, const char *label, int severity,
            const char *text, const char *action, const char *tag);
