Pause is made obsolete by sigsuspend(2).
The pause() function forces a process to pause until a signal is received from either the kill(2) function or an interval timer. (See setitimer(2).) Upon termination of a signal handler started during a pause(), the pause() call will return.
Return values
Always returns -1.
