NAME
       curs_beep, beep, flash - curses bell and screen flash routines

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
       #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 terminal, if pos-
       sible; 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 VALUES
       These routines always return OK.
