The LC_MESSAGES Category
The LC_MESSAGES category of a locale definition source file defines the format for
affirmative and negative system responses. This category begins with an LC_MESSAGES
category header and terminates with an END LC_MESSAGES category trailer.
All operands for the LC_MESSAGES category are defined as strings or extended regular
expressions bounded by ""(double quotes). These operands are separated from the keyword
they define by one or more spaces. Two adjacent ""(double quotes) indicate an undefined
value. The following keywords are recognized in the LC_MESSAGES category:
copy Specifies the name of an existing locale to be used as the definition of this category. If
you include a copy statement, no other keyword shall be specified.
yesexpr Specifies an extended regular expression that describes the acceptable affirmative
response to a question expecting an affirmative or negative response.
noexpr Specifies an extended regular expression that describes the acceptable negative
response to a question expecting an affirmative or negative response.
yesstr Specifies the locale’s equivalents of an acceptable affirmative response. This string is
accessible to applications through the nl_langinfo subroutine as nl_langinfo
(YESSTR).
