NAME
       addsev() - define additional severities for formatting routines

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
       The  routine  allows the user to define additional severities to be used by formatting routines (see pfmt(3C)) in the standard message for-
       mat.  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 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.

       assumes that sev_string has already been translated into a locale-specific string using the current locale.

RETURN VALUE
       If successful, returns zero.  Otherwise, it returns
