NAME
       pause - wait for signal


SYNOPSIS
       #include <unistd.h>

       int pause(void);


DESCRIPTION
       pause()  causes  the calling process (or thread) to sleep until a signal is delivered that
       either terminates the process or causes the invocation of a signal-catching function.


RETURN VALUE

       In this case pause() returns -1, and errno is set to EINTR.


ERRORS
       EINTR  a signal was caught and the signal-catching function returned.
