"bash -version" says:
GNU bash, version 1.14.7(1) r3 w/multibyte extension
the bash man page says this:
bell-style (audible)
Controls what happens when readline wants to ring the
terminal bell. If set to none, readline never rings
the bell. If set to visible, readline uses a visible
bell if one is available. If set to audible, readline
attempts to ring the terminal's bell.
It looks like, that there is no visible-bell available, because it
works with "set bell-style none".
But in the "_inputrc" file which is distributed with "bsh1147b.zip"
are the following lines:
set bell-style on
set visible-stats on
Why is bell-style set to "on" and not to "visible", "audible" or "none"?
And what is this visible-stats? I couldn't find any documentation on that?
Thanks
Ingo
