+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This function allows the introduction of new severity classes
+which can be addressed by the
+.I severity
+argument of the
+.BR fmtmsg (3)
+function.
+By default, that function knows only how to
+print messages for severity 0-4 (with strings (none), HALT,
+ERROR, WARNING, INFO).
+This call attaches the given string
+.I s
+to the given value
+.IR severity .
+If
+.I s
+is NULL, the severity class with the numeric value
+.I severity
+is removed.
+It is not possible to overwrite or remove one of the default
+severity classes.
+The severity value must be nonnegative.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Upon success, the value
+.B MM_OK
+is returned.
+Upon error, the return value is
+.BR MM_NOTOK .
+Possible errors include: out of memory, attempt to remove a
+nonexistent or default severity class.
