ml-write(2)

NAME

ml-write - Write message on message line

SYNOPSIS

n ml-write "message"

DESCRIPTION

ml-write writes the given message to the message line. If a positive argument n is given then there will be an n second uninterruptible delay, giving the user time to see the message.

A call to ml-write from a callback macro can erase a message line which is currently being used (to enter a buffer name say). A call to ml-clear(2) restores the previous message-line.
