ml-clear(2)

NAME

ml-clear - Clear the message line

SYNOPSIS

ml-clear

DESCRIPTION

ml-clear clears the message line during script execution. This is useful so as not to leave a confusing message from the last command(s) in a script.

Callback macros which may interrupt the user at any point in time are handled by ml-clear. The callback macro for instance may interrupt the user while entering a new file name, and any ml-write(2) erases the message-line which may currently be in use. MicroEmacs '99 stores the line and when ml-clear(2) is invoked, instead of clearing the message line the current input line is restored.

SEE ALSO

create-callback(2), ml-write(2).
