58 The <\fBfmtmsg.h\fR> header defines the following macros, which expand to
59 constant integer expressions:
66 Source of the condition is hardware.
75 Source of the condition is software.
84 Source of the condition is firmware.
93 Condition detected by application.
102 Condition detected by utility.
111 Condition detected by operating system.
117 \fB\fBMM_RECOVER\fR\fR
126 \fB\fBMM_NRECOV\fR\fR
129 Non-recoverable error.
138 Error causing application to halt.
147 Application has encountered a non-fatal fault.
153 \fB\fBMM_WARNING\fR\fR
156 Application has detected unusual non-error condition.
174 No severity level provided for the message.
183 Display message on standard error.
189 \fB\fBMM_CONSOLE\fR\fR
192 Display message on system console.
197 The table below indicates the null values and identifiers for \fBfmtmsg\fR(3C)
198 arguments. The <\fBfmtmsg.h\fR> header defines the macros in the Identifier
199 column, which expand to constant expressions that expand to expressions of the
200 type indicated in the Type column:
207 Argument Type Null-Value Identifier

213 \fItag\fR \fBchar*\fR \fB(char*) NULL\fR \fBMM_NULLTAG\fR
218 The <\fBfmtmsg.h\fR> header also defines the following macros for use as return
219 values for \fBfmtmsg()\fR:
226 The function succeeded.
235 The function failed completely.
244 The function was unable to generate a message on standard error, but otherwise
254 The function was unable to generate a console message, but otherwise succeeded.
