NAME
Pause - suspend process until a signal is received
SYNOPSIS
void Pause();
DESCRIPTION
Pause
causes the calling process to go to sleep until a signal that is not being
ignored or masked is received. If a signal handler has been established for
that signal with the
Psignal
system call, then the handler is invoked before
Pause
returns; if the handler does a longjmp to a different point in the
program, if it exits the program, or if the signal handler was set
to SIG_DFL and the default action for the signal is to terminate the
process, then
Pause
will never return.
