= xref:BloombergLP.adoc[BloombergLP]::xref:BloombergLP/ball.adoc[ball]::xref:BloombergLP/ball/SeverityUtil.adoc[SeverityUtil]::fromAscii
:relfileprefix: ../../../
:mrdocs:

Load into the specified `level` the value of the `Severity::Level` enumerator corresponding to the specified `name` (without regard to the case of the characters in `name`). Return 0 on success, and a non‐zero value with no effect on `level` otherwise. The behavior is undefined unless `level` is non‐null and `name` is a null‐terminated (C‐style) string. Note that this procedure will fail unless `isValidName(name)` is `true`.
