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

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int beep(
	       void ); int flash(
	       void );

LIBRARY
       Curses Library (libcurses)

STANDARDS
       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       beep, flash: XCURSES4.2

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.

DESCRIPTION
       The beep and flash routines are used to alert the terminal user. The routine beep sounds the audible alarm on the terminal, if possible. If
       an audible alarm is not possible, the routine flashes the screen (visible bell), if possible.

       The routine flash flashes the screen, and if that is not possible, sounds the audible alarm.

       If neither an audible or visual signal is possible, these routines produce no results. Nearly all terminals have an audible signal (bell or
       beep), but only some can flash the screen.

NOTES
       The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>.

RETURN VALUES
       These routines always return OK.
