Routing and severity attributes affect what happens to the messages they are applied to, and nothing else. However, there is an additional set of attributes that, when applied to a message, mainly affect what happens to the program after the message is sent:
svc_c_action_abort
Causes the program to abort (with core dump) as soon as the message is output.
svc_c_action_exit_bad
Causes the program to exit (with failure status) as soon as the message is output.
svc_c_action_exit_ok
Causes the program to exit (with successful status) as soon as the message is output.
svc_c_action_brief
Suppresses the standard prolog of the message. The prolog of a serviceability includes all the nonmessage information that is output before the
message text itself. The prologs of all messages can be suppressed by setting the SVC_BRIEF environment variable; see Suppressing the Serviceability Message Prolog
