NAME
       bell - Ring a display's bell

SYNOPSIS
       bell ?-displayof window? ?-nice?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________


DESCRIPTION
       This command rings the bell on the display for window and returns an empty string.  If the -displayof
       option is omitted, the display of the application's main window is used by default.  The command uses
       the  current bell-related settings for the display, which may be modified with programs such as xset.

       If -nice is not specified, this command also resets the screen saver for  the  screen.   Some  screen
       savers will ignore this, but others will reset so that the screen becomes visible again.
