!!NAME


sigpause - atomically release blocked signals and wait for interrupt
!!SYNOPSIS


__#include __


__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__.
!!CONFORMING TO


4.4BSD. The __sigpause__ function call appeared in 4.3BSD
and is deprecated.
