Syntax
VtBeep [ options ]
Description
Rings the terminal bell.
Options
- -volume n
- Sets the maximum volume n to ring the bell at (as for
XBell(); the range is -100 to +100). The default is
50. (This option is ignored when in character mode.)
- -duration n
- On bitmapped terminals, specifies the number of milliseconds the
bell rings for. On character terminals, specifies 100 times the
number of times the terminal bell rings. (For example,
-duration 500 will ring the bell for half a second on
a bitmapped terminal, or ring the bell five times in succession on a
character terminal.)
- -pitch n
- Set the frequency of the bell in Hertz. (This defaults to the
server default pitch.)
