25     This is a very simple filter based on level matching, which can be
26     used to reject messages with priorities outside a certain range.
27     
28     <p>The filter admits three options <b>LevelMin</b>, <b>LevelMax</b>
29     and <b>AcceptOnMatch</b>.
30  
31     <p>If the level of the {@link LoggingEvent} is not between Min and Max
32     (inclusive), then {@link Filter#DENY} is returned.
33     
34     <p> If the Logging event level is within the specified range, then if
35     <b>AcceptOnMatch</b> is true, {@link Filter#ACCEPT} is returned, and if
36     <b>AcceptOnMatch</b> is false, {@link Filter#NEUTRAL} is returned.
37     
38     <p>If <code>LevelMin</code>w is not defined, then there is no
39     minimum acceptable level (ie a level is never rejected for
40     being too "low"/unimportant).  If <code>LevelMax</code> is not
41     defined, then there is no maximum acceptable level (ie a
42     level is never rejected for beeing too "high"/important).
43  
44     <p>Refer to the {@link
45     org.apache.log4j.AppenderSkeleton#setThreshold setThreshold} method
46     available to <code>all</code> appenders extending {@link
47     org.apache.log4j.AppenderSkeleton} for a more convenient way to
48     filter out events by level.
