curs_beep(3X)                                       curs_beep(3X)



NAME
     curs_beep:  beep, flash - curses bell and screen flash rou-
     tines

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 ter-
     minal, 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 sig-
     nal (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>.
