SIGPAUSE(2) MachTen Programmer’s Manual SIGPAUSE(2)

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 indicate that no signals are to be blocked.
Sigpause() always terminates by being interrupted, returning -1 with
errno set to EINTR

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

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