beep(3XCURSES)		X/Open Curses Library Functions		beep(3XCURSES)

NAME
       beep, flash - activate audio-visual alarm

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib \
       -R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ]

       c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

       #include <curses.h>

       int beep(void);

       int flash(void);

DESCRIPTION
       The  beep()  and flash() functions produce an audio and visual alarm on
       the terminal, respectively.  If the terminal has the capability, beep()
       sounds  a  bell	or beep and  flash() flashes the screen.  One alarm is
       substituted for another if the terminal does not support the   capabil‐
       ity  called (see	 terminfo(4) bel and flash capabilities). For example,
       a call to beep() for a terminal without that capability	results	 in  a
       flash.

RETURN VALUES
       These functions always return OK.

ERRORS
       None.
