NAME
sigpause - atomically release blocked signals and wait for
interrupt
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
int sigpause(int sigmask );
DESCRIPTION
This interface is made obsolete by sigsuspend(2).
Sigpause 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. Sigmask is usually 0 to indi-
cate that no signals are to be blocked. Sigpause always
terminates by being interrupted, returning -1 with errno
set to EINTR
HISTORY
The sigpause function call appeared in BSD 4.3 and has
been deprecated.
