  PAUSE(2)                                                 PAUSE(2)



  NAME
       pause - suspend process until signal

  SYNOPSIS
       pause -

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