+== NAME
+
+mesg - display (or do not display) messages from other users
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+*mesg* [_option_] [*n*|*y*]
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The *mesg* utility is invoked by a user to control write access others have to the terminal device associated with standard error output. If write access is allowed, then programs such as *talk*(1) and *write*(1) may display messages on the terminal.
+
+Traditionally, write access is allowed by default. However, as users become more conscious of various security risks, there is a trend to remove write access by default, at least for the primary login shell. To make sure your ttys are set the way you want them to be set, *mesg* should be executed in your login scripts.
+
+The *mesg* utility silently exits with error status 2 if not executed on a terminal. In this case executing *mesg* is pointless. The command line option *--verbose* forces *mesg* to print a warning in this situation. This behaviour has been introduced in version 2.33.
+
+== ARGUMENTS
+
+*n*::
+Disallow messages.
+
+*y*::
+Allow messages to be displayed.
+
+If no arguments are given, *mesg* shows the current message status on standard error output.
+
+== OPTIONS
+
+*-v*, *--verbose*::
+Explain what is being done.
+
+include::man-common/help-version.adoc[]
+
+== EXIT STATUS
+
+The *mesg* utility exits with one of the following values:
+
+*0*::
+Messages are allowed.
+*1*::
+Messages are not allowed.
+*>1*::
+An error has occurred.
+
+== FILES
+
+_/dev/[pt]ty*_, _/dev/pts/[0-9]*_
+
+== HISTORY
+
+*mesg* (I) appears in the UNIX Programmer's Manual.
+It used to invert the current state with no argument before Version 7 AT&T UNIX.
