NAME

       pause - suspend process until signal

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       suspends  the  calling  process	until  it  receives  a	signal.  The signal must be one that is not currently set to be ignored or blocked
       (masked) by the calling process.

       If the signal causes termination of the calling process, does not return.

       If the signal is by the calling process and control is returned from the signal-catching function  (see	signal(5)),  the  calling  process
       resumes execution from the point of suspension; with a return value of -1 from and set to

APPLICATION USAGE

   Threads Considerations
       Signal dispositions (such as catch/default/ignore) are shared by all threads in the process and blocked signal masks are maintained by each
       thread.	Therefore, the signals being waited for should not be ignored by the process or blocked by the calling thread.

       will suspend only the calling thread until it receives a signal.

       If other threads in the process do not block the signal, the signal may be delivered to another thread in the process and the thread in may
       continue waiting.  For this reason, the use of is recommended instead of for multi-threaded applications.

       For more information regarding signals and threads, refer to signal(5).
