NAME
     cursbeep, beep, flash - curses bell and screen  flash  rou-
     tines

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
     #include 

     int beep(void);


     int flash(void);


DESCRIPTION
     The beep() and flash() routines are used to signal the  ter-
     minal  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  pos-
     sible,  sounds the audible signal. If neither signal is pos-
     sible, nothing happens. Nearly all terminals have an audible
     signal (bell or beep), but only some can flash the screen.

RETURN VALUES
     These routines always return OK.
