Re^3: Choosing a log level

well the words seem identical in their sense but what i meant was, for example, an output file that cannot be written. This might not be a fatal error: you may receive ERROR: out.txt is in use and $0 cannot lock it that is different from FATAL cannot read the configuration you supplied even if it exists

So probably the best word is complementary instead of needed, thanks for the comment.

I was pondering on this for a few minutes, and I might describe ERROR as "locally fatal" as compared to being "globally fatal" The current operation is impossible, but the application as a whole can continue operating.	[reply]
