bell(n)

✨ NAME ✨

bell(n) from Tk Built-In Commands — okay bestie, this is the manual page for bell, and its whole job is: Ring a display’s bell. 🔔💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bell ?-displayof window? ?-nice?

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So this command rings the bell on the display for window and returns an empty string. 🎀✨

• -displayof window — if this option is omitted, the display of the application’s main window is used by default. 🫶
• -nice — if this is not specified, the command also resets the screen saver for the screen. 🙈

The command uses the current bell-related settings for the display, which may be modified with programs such as xset. 👑

Screen saver tea: some screen savers will ignore this, but others will reset so that the screen becomes visible again. 😭💅

👑 KEYWORDS 👑

beep, bell, ring

That’s the whole vibe from Tk 8.4 — source/version Tk 8.4, page bell(n), and the footer doesn’t list a separate date, so we’re keeping it cute and accurate, periodt. 💖🦋🌸
