| The <STRONG>beep</STRONG> and <STRONG>flash</STRONG> routines are used to alert the terminal |
| user. The routine <STRONG>beep</STRONG> sounds an audible alarm on the |
| terminal, if possible; otherwise it flashes the screen |
| (visible bell). The routine <STRONG>flash</STRONG> 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. |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE> |
| These routines return <STRONG>OK</STRONG> if they succeed in beeping or |
| flashing, <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> otherwise. |
| |
| |

| <H2><a name="h2-EXTENSIONS">EXTENSIONS</a></H2><PRE> |
| SVr4's beep and flash routines always returned <STRONG>OK</STRONG>, so it |
| was not possible to tell when the beep or flash failed. |
| |

| <H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE> |
| These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, |
| Issue 4. Like SVr4, it specifies that they always return |
| <STRONG>OK</STRONG>. |
