This section describes the functions for explicitly producing echo
area messages. Many other Emacs features display messages there, too.
! @defun message string &rest arguments
! This function displays a message in the echo area. The
! argument @var{string} is similar to a C language @code{printf} control
string. See @code{format} in @ref{Formatting Strings}, for the details
on the conversion specifications. @code{message} returns the
constructed string.

In batch mode, @code{message} prints the message text on the standard
error stream, followed by a newline.
! If @var{string}, or strings among the @var{arguments}, have @code{face}
! text properties, these affect the way the message is displayed.
@c Emacs 19 feature
! If @var{string} is @code{nil}, @code{message} clears the echo area; if
! the echo area has been expanded automatically, this brings it back to
! its normal size. If the minibuffer is active, this brings the
! minibuffer contents back onto the screen immediately.
