Name:

    setverbosity - Set verbosity level for message
      shutupto - Set quiet level for message

Synopsis:

      VerbosityLevel setverbosity ->	-

      M_DEBUG	 setverbosity ->	-
      M_STATUS	 setverbosity ->	-
      M_INFO	 setverbosity ->	-
      M_DEPRECATED   setverbosity ->	-
      M_WARNING	 setverbosity ->	-
      M_ERROR	 setverbosity ->	-
      M_FATAL	 setverbosity ->	-

Examples:

      1. M_INFO   setverbosity
      % Don't display any debugging- or status-messages, only informational and
      % above.
      2. M_ERROR setverbosity
      % Do inform me about severe errors only.

Description:

      Set verbosity level for message.
      Only messages of priority equal to or greater than the specified
      level will be issued by the "message" command.

Parameters:

      VerbosityLevel:
      The new verbosity-level for message-display (see "message").
      You may use any poitive integer here. For conveniency,
      there exist five predifined error levels in systemdict:
      M_ALL=0,  display all messages
      M_DEBUG=5,  display debugging messages and above
      M_STATUS=7,  display status messages and above
      M_INFO=10, display information messages and above
      M_DEPRECATED=18, display deprecation warnings and above
      M_WARNING=20, display warning messages and above
      M_ERROR=30, display error messages and above
      M_FATAL=40, display failure messages and above
      M_QUIET=100, suppress all messages

      Thus, by calling "M_WARNING=20 setverbosity" you
      indicate that you are interested in seeing error messages and
      more important messages only.

      Side Effects: Change verbosity level of the SLI interpreter.

Bugs:

Remarks:

      M_* values are defined in system dictionary.
      You may introduce new priority levels in the user dictionary if convenient.
      Standard values are: M_ALL	 = 0
      M_DEBUG   = 5
      M_STATUS  = 7
      M_INFO   = 10
      M_DEPRECATED = 18
      M_WARNING = 20
      M_ERROR   = 30
      M_FATAL   = 40
      M_QUIET   = 100
      Standard output:	 M_OUT	 = cout
