NAME
     bell - Ring a display's bell

SYNOPSIS
     bell ?-displayof window?


DESCRIPTION
     This command rings the bell on the display for window and returns an
     empty string.  If the -displayof option is omitted, the display of the
     application's main window is used by default.  The command uses the
     current bell-related settings for the display, which may be modified with
     programs such as xset.

     This command also resets the screen saver for the screen.  Some screen
     savers will ignore this, but others will reset so that the screen becomes
     visible again.
