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

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <curses.h>

     int beep(void);

     int flash(void);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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    [Toc]    [Back]

     These routines always return OK.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

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