It is not the same as the minibuffer, despite the fact that the minibuffer appears (when active) in the same place on the screen as the echo area. See <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Minibuffer.html#Minibuffer">The Minibuffer</a> in <cite>The GNU Emacs Manual</cite>. </p> <p>Apart from the functions documented in this section, you can print Lisp objects to the echo area by specifying <code>t</code> as the output stream.
