SIGPAUSE(2)		    BSD System Calls Manual		   SIGPAUSE(2)

NAME
     sigpause — atomically release blocked signals and wait for interrupt

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <signal.h>

     int
     sigpause(int sigmask);

DESCRIPTION
     This interface is made obsolete by sigsuspend(2).

     The sigpause() function assigns sigmask to the set of masked signals and
     then waits for a signal to arrive; on return the set of masked signals is
     restored.	The sigmask argument is usually 0 to indicate that no signals
     are to be blocked.	 The sigpause() function always terminates by being
     interrupted, returning -1 with errno set to EINTR

SEE ALSO
     kill(2), sigaction(2), sigblock(2), sigprocmask(2), sigsuspend(2),
     sigvec(2)

HISTORY
     The sigpause() function appeared in 4.2BSD and has been deprecated.
