curs_beep(3X)                    DG/UX 5.4.2                   curs_beep(3X)


NAME
       curs_beep:  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 signal the terminal user.
       The routine beep sounds the audible alarm on the terminal, if
       possible; 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 signal (bell or beep), but only some can flash the screen.

RETURN VALUE
       These routines always return OK.

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