curs_beep(3X)    MISCELLANEOUS LIBRARY FUNCTIONS    curs_beep(3X)



NAME
     cursbeep:  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>.
