+.TH beep 3NCURSES 2023-10-07 "ncurses 6.4" "Library calls"
+.SH NAME
+\fB\%beep\fP,
+\fB\%flash\fP \-
+ring the (visual) bell of the terminal with \fIcurses\fR
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+\fB#include <curses.h>
+.PP
+\fBint beep(void);
+\fBint flash(void);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fBbeep\fP and \fBflash\fP routines are used to alert the terminal user.
+The routine \fBbeep\fP sounds an audible alarm on the terminal, if possible;
+otherwise it flashes the screen (visible bell).
+The routine \fBflash\fP
+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.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+These routines return \fBOK\fP if they succeed in beeping or flashing,
+\fBERR\fP otherwise.
+.SH EXTENSIONS
+SVr4's beep and flash routines always returned \fBOK\fP, so it was not
+possible to tell when the beep or flash failed.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
+Like SVr4, it specifies that they always return \fBOK\fP.
+.SH SEE ALSO
