.SH NAME
|
|
\fBbeep\fR, \fBflash\fR - \fBncurses\fR bell and screen flash routines
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fB#include <ncurses.h>\fR
|
|
|
|
\fBint beep(void);\fR

.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.
|
|
.SH CAPABILITIES
|
|
\fBbell\fR, \fBflash_screen\fR.
