beep
----

### Synopsis

    int beep(void);
    int flash(void);

### Description

   beep() sounds the audible bell on the terminal, if possible; if not,
   it calls flash().

   flash() "flashes" the screen, by inverting the foreground and
   background of every cell, pausing, and then restoring the original
   attributes.

### Return Value

   These functions return ERR if called before initscr(), otherwise OK.

### Portability
                             X/Open  ncurses  NetBSD
