# <(_:_:) Strict severity comparison: `.debug < .info < .notice < .warn < .err`. ``` static func < (lhs: TorLogLevel, rhs: TorLogLevel) -> Bool ``` ## Parameters `lhs` Left operand. `rhs` Right operand. ## Return Value `true` if `lhs` has strictly lower severity than `rhs`. ## Discussion Enables predicates such as `level >= .warn` for log filtering and test assertions. Comparison is **not** lexicographic on the raw strings — `"DEBUG" < "ERR"` by ASCII but `.debug > .err` by severity; always use the typed enum for ordering semantics.
