PAUSE(2)                 DOMAIN/IX SYS5                  PAUSE(2)



NAME
     pause - suspend process until signal

USAGE
     pause()

DESCRIPTION
     Pause suspends the calling process until it receives a sig-
     nal.  The signal must be one that the calling process is not
     currently set to ignore.

     If the signal terminates 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.

RETURN VALUE
     Pause returns -1 and sets errno to EINTR.
