XDeviceBell - ring a bell on a device supported through the
input extension 
Status XDeviceBell(display, device, feedbackclass,
feedbackid, percent) 
      Display *display;
 
      XDevice *device; 
 
      XID *feedbackclass; 
 
      XID *feedbackid; 
 
      int *percent; 
 
- display 
- Specifies the connection to the X server. 
- device 
- Specifies
the device with which the bell is associated. 
- feedbackclass 
- Specifies the
class of the feedback with which the bell is associated. 
- feedbackid 
- Specifies
the id of the feedback with which the bell is associated. 
- percent 
- Specifies
the volume in the range -100 to 100 at which the bell should be rung. 
The
XDeviceBell request causes the server to ring a bell on the  specified
feedback of the specified device, if possible.   The specified volume is
relative to the base volume for the bell. If an invalid device is specified,
a BadDevice error will be returned.  The feedbackclass and feedbackid parameters
contain values returned by an XGetFeedbackControl request and uniquely
identify the bell to ring.  If a feedbackclass is specified that does not
support a bell, or if a nonexistent feedbackid is specified, or a percent
value is specified that is not in the range -100 to 100, a BadValue error
will be returned.
The volume at which the bell is rung when the percent
argument is  nonnegative is: 
- base - [(base * percent) / 100] + percent 
The
volume at which the bell rings when the percent argument is negative is:
- base + [(base * percent) / 100] 
To change the base volume of the bell,
use XChangeFeedbackControl. 
XDeviceBell can generate a BadDevice or a BadValue
error. 
- BadDevice 
- An invalid device was specified.  The specified
device does not exist, or has  not been opened by this client via XOpenInputDevice.
- BadValue 
- An invalid feedbackclass, feedbackid, or percent value was specified.
