.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;
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.
+These functions are described in X/Open Curses, Issue 4.
Like SVr4, it specifies that they always return \fBOK\fP.
