PAUSE(3) OpenBSD Programmer's Manual PAUSE(3)NAMEpause - stop until signal
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 may set the global variable errno to the following
error:
[EINTR] The call was interrupted.

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