pause − wait for signal
#include <unistd.h>
int pause(void);
The pause() library function causes the invoking process (or thread) to sleep until a signal is received that either terminates it or causes it to call a signal-catching function.
The pause() function only returns when a signal was caught and the signal-catching function returned. In this case pause() returns −1, and errno is set to EINTR.
