beep(3X)                                                           beep(3X)

NAME
     beep - audible signal

SYNOPSIS
     cc [flag ...] file ... -lcurses [library ...]

     #include <curses.h>

     int beep(void);

DESCRIPTION
     The beep() function alerts the user. It sounds the audible alarm on
     the terminal, or if that is not possible, it flashes the screen (visi-
     ble bell). If neither signal is possible, nothing happens.

RETURN VALUE
     The beep() function always returns OK.

ERRORS
     No errors are defined.

NOTES
     Nearly all terminals have an audible alarm, but only some can flash
     the screen.

SEE ALSO
     curses(3X), flash(3X), curses(5).
