@defun minibuffer-prompt
This function returns the prompt string of the currently active
minibuffer.  If no minibuffer is active, it returns @code{nil}.
@end defun

@tindex minibuffer-prompt-end
@defun minibuffer-prompt-end
This function, available starting in Emacs 21, returns the current
position of the end of the minibuffer prompt, if a minibuffer is
current.  Otherwise, it returns zero.
@end defun

@defun minubuffer-prompt-width
This function returns the current display-width of the minibuffer
prompt, if a minibuffer is current.  Otherwise, it returns zero.

@defun minibuffer-prompt
This function returns the prompt string of the currently active
minibuffer.  If no minibuffer is active, it returns @code{nil}.
@end defun

@defun minibuffer-prompt-end
@tindex minibuffer-prompt-end
This function, available starting in Emacs 21, returns the current
position of the end of the minibuffer prompt, if a minibuffer is
current.  Otherwise, it returns the minimum valid buffer position.
@end defun

@defun minibuffer-contents
@tindex minibuffer-contents
This function, available starting in Emacs 21, returns the editable
contents of the minibuffer (that is, everything except the prompt) as
a string, if a minibuffer is current.  Otherwise, it returns the
entire contents of the current buffer.
@end defun

@defun minibuffer-contents-no-properties
@tindex minibuffer-contents-no-properties
This is like @code{minibuffer-contents}, except that it does not copy text
properties, just the characters themselves.  @xref{Text Properties}.
@end defun

@defun delete-minibuffer-contents
@tindex delete-minibuffer-contents
This function, available starting in Emacs 21, erases the editable
contents of the minibuffer (that is, everything except the prompt), if
a minibuffer is current.  Otherwise, it erases the entire buffer.
@end defun

@defun minubuffer-prompt-width
This function returns the current display-width of the minibuffer
prompt, if a minibuffer is current.  Otherwise, it returns zero.
