+/**
+ * This is a very simple filter based on level matching.
+ *
+ * <p>The filter admits two options <b><var>LevelToMatch</var></b> and
+ * <b><var>AcceptOnMatch</var></b>. If there is an exact match between the value
+ * of the <b><var>LevelToMatch</var></b> option and the level of the
+ * {@link LoggerLoggingEvent}, then the {@link decide()} method returns
+ * {@link LoggerFilter::ACCEPT} in case the <b><var>AcceptOnMatch</var></b>
+ * option value is set to <i>true</i>, if it is <i>false</i> then
+ * {@link LoggerFilter::DENY} is returned. If there is no match,
+ * {@link LoggerFilter::NEUTRAL} is returned.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * An example for this filter:
+ *
+ * {@example ../../examples/php/filter_levelmatch.php 19}
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The corresponding XML file:
+ *
+ * {@example ../../examples/resources/filter_levelmatch.xml 18}
+ *
