.SH NAME
|
|
\fBbeep\fR, \fBflash\fR - \fBcurses\fR bell and screen flash routines
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fB#include <curses.h>\fR
|
|
|
|
\fBint beep(void);\fR
|
|
.br
|
|
\fBint flash(void);\fR
|
|
.br
|
|
.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 return \fBOK\fR if they succeed in beeping or flashing,
|
|
\fBERR\fR otherwise.
|
|
.SH EXTENSIONS
|
|
SVr4's beep and flash routines always returned \fBOK\fR, so it was not
|
|
possible to tell when the beep or flash failed.
|
|
.SH PORTABILITY
|
|
These functions are defined in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. Like SVr4, it
|
|
specifies that they always return \fBOK\fR.
