+.SH NAME
+bell \- Ring a display's bell
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBbell \fR?\fB\-displayof \fIwindow\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command rings the bell on the display for \fIwindow\fR and
+returns an empty string.
+If the \fB\-displayof\fR 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 \fBxset\fR.
+.PP
+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.
+
+.SH KEYWORDS
+beep, bell, ring
