PAUSE(2-SysV)       RISC/os Reference Manual        PAUSE(2-SysV)



NAME
     pause - suspend process until signal

SYNOPSIS
     pause ()

DESCRIPTION
     pause suspends the calling process until it receives a sig-
     nal.  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 sig-
     nal(2)], the calling process resumes execution from the
     point of suspension; with a return value of -1 from pause
     and errno set to EINTR.
