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

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