          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

syslog.conf(5) reads

     The level describes the severity of the message, and is a keyword from
     the following ordered list (higher to lower): emerg, crit, alert, err,
     warning, notice, info and debug.

but /usr/include/syslog.h gives

/*
 * priorities/facilities are encoded into a single 32-bit quantity, where the
 * bottom 3 bits are the priority (0-7) and the top 28 bits are the facility
 * (0-big number).  Both the priorities and the facilities map roughly
 * one-to-one to strings in the syslogd(8) source code.  This mapping is
 * included in this file.
 *
 * priorities (these are ordered)
