SIGPAUSE(2)                 BSD Programmer's Manual                SIGPAUSE(2)

NAME
     sigpause - atomically release blocked signals and wait for interrupt

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/signal.h>

     int
     sigpause(int sigmask)

DESCRIPTION
     This interface is made obsolete by sigsuspend(2).

     Sigpause() assigns sigmask to the set of masked signals and then waits
     for a signal to arrive; on return the set of masked signals is restored.
     Sigmask is usually 0 to indicate that no signals are to be blocked.
     Sigpause() always terminates by being interrupted, returning -1 with
     errno set to EINTR

SEE ALSO
     sigsuspend(2),  kill(2),  sigaction(2),  sigprocmask(2),  sigblock(2),
     sigvec(2)

HISTORY
     The sigpause function call appeared in 4.2BSD and has been deprecated.
