Table 2 is the whole set, read between the facility table's caption and its own.
Table 2 is the whole set, read between the facility table's caption and its own. The
keyword is POSIX's severity macro less its `LOG_` prefix, lowercased, taken in the
order POSIX lists them, which `LOG_UPTO` states is the severity order; each must be a
prefix of the severity RFC 5424 numbers alike, so the two sources pin one pairing.
