SYNOPSIS

     #include <unistd.h>

     int
     pause(void);

DESCRIPTION

     Pause is made obsolete by sigsuspend(2).

     The pause() function forces a process to pause until a signal is received from either the kill(2) function or an interval timer.  (See
     setitimer(2).)  Upon termination of a signal handler started during a pause(), the pause() call will return.

RETURN VALUES

     Always returns -1.

ERRORS

     The pause() function always returns:

     [EINTR]		The call was interrupted.

SEE ALSO

     kill(2), poll(2), select(2), setitimer(2), sigsuspend(2)

STANDARDS

     The pause() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9945-1:1990 (``POSIX.1'').

HISTORY

     A pause() syscall appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
