NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       curs_beep, beep, flash - Curses bell and screen flash routines

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <curses.h>

       int beep(
               void ); int flash(
               void );

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       Curses Library (libcurses)

STANDARDS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Interfaces documented on this reference  page  conform  to
       industry standards as follows:

       beep, flash: XCURSES4.2

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information
 about industry standards and associated tags.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The beep and flash routines are used to alert the terminal
       user.  The  routine  beep  sounds the audible alarm on the
       terminal, if possible. If an audible alarm is  not  possible,
  the  routine  flashes  the screen (visible bell), if
       possible.

       The routine flash flashes the screen, and if that  is  not
       possible, sounds the audible alarm.

       If  neither an audible or visual signal is possible, these
       routines produce no results. Nearly all terminals have  an
       audible signal (bell or beep), but only some can flash the
       screen.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

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

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       These routines always return OK.
