You can try putting a crazy number (like 10000) and you'll get an error
message from rsyslog stating the allowed range.
However, you shouldn't use this option if you don't know what you're
doing. If rsyslog is the only program in the FIFO class, then the priority
you put doesn't matter. It only comes into play if there are several
processes (or threads) in FIFO class. But then you need to know what they
all are and what priority they all have, in order to prevent possible
starvation problems.
