SYNOPSIS
       #include <unistd.h>
       int pause(void);
DESCRIPTION

       is delivered that either terminates the process or causes  the  invoca-
       tion of a signal-catching function.
RETURN VALUE
       pause()  returns  only when a signal was caught and the signal-catching
       function returned.  In this case, pause() returns -1, and errno is  set
       to EINTR.
