30 The \fBbeep()\fR and \fBflash()\fR functions produce an audio and visual alarm
31 on the terminal, respectively. If the terminal has the capability,
32 \fBbeep()\fR sounds a bell or beep and \fBflash()\fR flashes the screen. One
33 alarm is substituted for another if the terminal does not support the
34 capability called (see \fBterminfo\fR(4) \fBbel\fR and \fBflash\fR
35 capabilities). For example, a call to \fBbeep()\fR for a terminal without that
36 capability results in a flash.
40 These functions always return \fBOK\fR.
