curs_beep(3X)curs_beep(3X)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 described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. Like SVr4, it specifies that they always return OK.

Introduction
Originally, we only had one shell on unix. When ran a command, the shell would attempt to invoke one of the exec() system calls on it. It the command was an executable, the exec would succeed and the command would run. If the exec() failed, the shell would not give up, instead it... (3 Replies)

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)

Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)
