! Input variable.
type(Status_type), intent(in) :: S ! Status to be checked.

! Verify requirements.
VERIFY(Valid_State(S),1) ! S is valid.
! Set normal boolean.
Normal = status_flag(S%status)%severity == 'Normal'
! Verify guarantees.
! Normal should be what it was set to.
VERIFY(Normal .eqv. (status_flag(S%status)%severity == 'Normal'),2)
