[vdr] Re: mesg() function?

[Lauri Pesonen <lauri.pesonen@firsthop.com>]

// Shows and informational message
Interface->Info("foobar");
// Shows an error message (different colors than in an info msg)
Interface->Error("foobar");
// Asks for confirmation: shows the message and waits <time> seconds. If 
// the thirs argument is true, the user accepts the confirmation by 
// waiting for the message to timeout. Otherwise he has to press Ok.
Interface->Confirm("foobar", time, wait_for_timeout);

Look into interface.c and interface.h
