      NAME
           pause - suspend process until signal

      SYNTAX
           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.

      SEE ALSO
           kill(2), signal(2), wait(2).
