+/**
+ * This is a very simple filter based on level matching, which can be
+ * used to reject messages with priorities outside a certain range.
+ *
+ * <p>The filter admits three options <b><var>LevelMin</var></b>, <b><var>LevelMax</var></b>
+ * and <b><var>AcceptOnMatch</var></b>.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>If the level of the {@link LoggerLoggingEvent} is not between Min and Max
+ * (inclusive), then {@link LoggerFilter::DENY} is returned.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>If the Logging event level is within the specified range, then if
+ * <b><var>AcceptOnMatch</var></b> is <i>true</i>,
+ * {@link LoggerFilter::ACCEPT} is returned, and if
+ * <b><var>AcceptOnMatch</var></b> is <i>false</i>,
+ * {@link LoggerFilter::NEUTRAL} is returned.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>If <b><var>LevelMin</var></b> is not defined, then there is no
+ * minimum acceptable level (i.e. a level is never rejected for
+ * being too "low"/unimportant).  If <b><var>LevelMax</var></b> is not
+ * defined, then there is no maximum acceptable level (ie a
+ * level is never rejected for being too "high"/important).</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Refer to the {@link LoggerAppender::setThreshold()} method
+ * available to <b>all</b> appenders extending {@link LoggerAppender}
+ * for a more convenient way to filter out events by level.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * An example for this filter:
+ *
+ * {@example ../../examples/php/filter_levelrange.php 19}
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The corresponding XML file:
+ *
+ * {@example ../../examples/resources/filter_levelrange.xml 18}
