Warning messages

A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and prompts you to respond before the system continues a task. For example, before
you format a hard drive, a message warns you that you may lose all data on the hard drive. Warning messages usually interrupt the task
and need you to respond by typing y (yes) or n (no).

the documentation that shipped with the operating system or application.
