NAME


       pause - wait for signal

 

SYNOPSIS


       #include 

       int pause(void);

 

DESCRIPTION






       The pause() library function causes the invoking process (or thread) to
       sleep until a signal is received that either terminates it or causes it
       to call a signal-catching function.

 

RETURN VALUE


       The pause() function only returns when a signal was caught and the sig-
       nal-catching function returned.  In this case pause() returns  -1,  and
       errno is set to EINTR.

 

ERRORS


       EINTR  a signal was caught and the signal-catching function returned.
