curs_beep(3X)

NAME
     curs_beep:  beep, flash - curses bell and screen flash routines

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curses.h>

     int beep(void);
     int flash(void);

DESCRIPTION
     The beep and flash routines are used to signal the terminal user.  The
     routine beep sounds the audible alarm on the terminal, if possible; if
     that is not possible, it flashes the screen (visible bell), if that is
     possible.  The routine flash flashes the screen, and if that is not
     possible, sounds the audible signal.  If neither signal is possible,
     nothing happens.  Nearly all terminals have an audible signal (bell or
     beep), but only some can flash the screen.

RETURN VALUE
     These routines always return OK.

NOTES
     The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files
     <stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.
