Description

The function confirm-yes-or-no pops up a dialog box containing a message and the buttons Yes and No, returns t when the Yes button is clicked, and nil when the No button is clicked. The message is obtained by calling the Common Lisp function format with format-string and objects in format-args.

This function is actually a convenient version of prompt-for-confirmation, but has the disadvantage that you cannot specify any customization arguments. For more flexibility, use prompt-for-confirmation itself.

Examples
