curs_beep(3) curs_beep(3)
NAME
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 alert the terminal
user. The routine beep sounds an audible alarm on the
terminal, if possible; otherwise it flashes the screen
(visible bell). The routine flash flashes the screen, and
if that is not possible, sounds the alert. If neither
alert is possible, nothing happens. Nearly all terminals
have an audible alert (bell or beep), but only some can
flash the screen.
RETURN VALUE
These routines return OK if they succeed in beeping or
flashing, ERR otherwise.
EXTENSIONS
SVr4's beep and flash routines always returned OK, so it
was not possible to tell when the beep or flash failed.
PORTABILITY
These functions are defined in the XSI Curses standard,
Issue 4. Like SVr4, it specifies that they always return
OK.
