.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The \fBbeep\fR and \fBflash\fR routines are used to alert the terminal user.
|
|
|
|
|
The routine \fBbeep\fR sounds an audible alarm on the terminal, if possible;
|
|
|
|
|
otherwise it flashes the screen (visible bell). The routine \fBflash\fR
|
|
|
|
|
flashes the screen, and if that is not possible, sounds the alert. If neither
|
|
|
|
|
alert is possible, nothing happens. Nearly all terminals have an audible alert
|
|
|
|
|
(bell or beep), but only some can flash the screen.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
|
|
These routines always return \fBOK\fR.
