       The  <fmtmsg.h>	header shall define the following macros, which expand
       to constant integer expressions:

       MM_HARD
	      Source of the condition is hardware.

       MM_SOFT
	      Source of the condition is software.

       MM_FIRM
	      Source of the condition is firmware.

       MM_APPL
	      Condition detected by application.

       MM_UTIL
	      Condition detected by utility.

       MM_OPSYS
	      Condition detected by operating system.

       MM_RECOVER
	      Recoverable error.

       MM_NRECOV
	      Non-recoverable error.

       MM_HALT
	      Error causing application to halt.

       MM_ERROR
	      Application has encountered a non-fatal fault.

       MM_WARNING
	      Application has detected unusual non-error condition.

       MM_INFO
	      Informative message.

       MM_NOSEV
	      No severity level provided for the message.

       MM_PRINT
	      Display message on standard error.

       MM_CONSOLE
	      Display message on system console.

       The table below indicates the null values and identifiers for  fmtmsg()
       arguments.   The <fmtmsg.h> header shall define the macros in the Iden‐
       tifier column, which expand to  constant	 expressions  that  expand  to
       expressions of the type indicated in the Type column:

		     Argument	Type	 Null-Value   Identifier
		     label	char *	 (char*)0     MM_NULLLBL
		     severity	int	 0	      MM_NULLSEV
		     class	long	 0L	      MM_NULLMC
		     text	char *	 (char*)0     MM_NULLTXT
		     action	char *	 (char*)0     MM_NULLACT
		     tag	char *	 (char*)0     MM_NULLTAG

       The <fmtmsg.h> header shall also define the following macros for use as
       return values for fmtmsg():

       MM_OK  The function succeeded.

       MM_NOTOK
	      The function failed completely.

       MM_NOMSG
	      The function was unable to generate a message on standard error,
	      but otherwise succeeded.

       MM_NOCON
	      The  function was unable to generate a console message, but oth‐
	      erwise succeeded.

       The following shall be declared as a function and may also  be  defined
       as a macro. A function prototype shall be provided.

	      int fmtmsg(long, const char *, int,
		  const char *, const char *, const char *);
