NAME
       pause - wait for signal
SYNOPSIS
       #include <unistd.h>
       int pause(void);
DESCRIPTION
       pause()  causes the calling process (or thread) to sleep until a signal
       is delivered that either terminates the process or causes  the  invoca-
       tion of a signal-catching function.
RETURN VALUE

       function returned.  In this case pause() returns -1, and errno  is  set
       to EINTR.
