The beep and flash routines activate the audio-visual alarm.
Syntax |
 |
#include <curses.h>
int beep();
int flash();

Return Values |

Successful completion.
- ERR
An error occurred. The terminal does not support
either capability.
Description |
|
The beep() and flash() routines produce an audio and visual alarm on the terminal, respectively. If the terminal has the capability, beep() sounds a bell or beep, and flash() flashes the creen. One alarm is substituted for another if the terminal does not support the capability called. For example, a call to
beep() for a terminal without that capability results
in a flash and vice versa.
