PAUSE(2)                             SysV                             PAUSE(2)



NAME
     pause - suspend process until signal

SYNOPSIS
     pause ()

DESCRIPTION
     pause suspends the calling process until it receives a signal.  The
     signal must be one that is not currently set to be ignored by the calling
     process.

     If the signal causes termination of the calling process, pause will not
     return.

     If the signal is caught by the calling process and control is returned
     from the signal-catching function (see signal(2)), the calling process
     resumes execution from the point of suspension - with a return value of
     -1 from pause and errno set to EINTR.
