    NAME
         pause - stop until signal

    SYNOPSIS
         pause()

         timer, see setitimer(2).  Upon termination of a signal
         handler started during a pause, the pause call will return.

    RETURN VALUE
         Always returns -1.

    ERRORS
         Pause always returns:

         [EINTR]	    The call was interrupted.

    SEE ALSO
         kill(2), select(2), sigpause(2)
