curs_beep(3X)                                                 curs_beep(3X)


   NAME
         cursbeep:  beep, flash - curses bell and screen flash routines

   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 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
         These routines always return OK.

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