 NAME
      pause - suspend process until signal

 SYNOPSIS
      #include <unistd.h>

      int pause(void);

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

      If the signal causes termination of the calling process, pause() does
      not return.

      If the signal is caught by the calling process and control is returned
      from the signal-catching function (see signal(5)), the calling process
      resumes execution from the point of suspension; with a return value of
      -1 from pause() and errno set to EINTR.

 WARNING
      Check all references to signal(5) for appropriateness on systems that
      support sigvector(2).  sigvector() can affect the behavior described
      on this page.
