Пролог (Prolog)

This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

Имя (Name)

pause — suspend the thread until a signal is received

---

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <unistd.h>

       int pause(void);

---

Описание (Description)

The pause() function shall suspend the calling thread until
       delivery of a signal whose action is either to execute a signal-
       catching function or to terminate the process.

       If the action is to terminate the process, pause() shall not
       return.

       If the action is to execute a signal-catching function, pause()
       shall return after the signal-catching function returns.

---

Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

Since pause() suspends thread execution indefinitely unless
       interrupted by a signal, there is no successful completion return
       value. A value of -1 shall be returned and errno set to indicate
       the error.

---

Ошибки (Error)

The pause() function shall fail if:

       EINTR  A signal is caught by the calling process and control is
              returned from the signal-catching function.

       The following sections are informative.

Примеры (Examples)

None.

Использование в приложениях (Application usage)

Many common uses of pause() have timing windows. The scenario
       involves checking a condition related to a signal and, if the
       signal has not occurred, calling pause().  When the signal occurs
       between the check and the call to pause(), the process often
       blocks indefinitely. The sigprocmask() and sigsuspend() functions
       can be used to avoid this type of problem.
