pause - suspend the thread until a signal is received
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
#include <unistd.h>
int pause(void);
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.
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.
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.
None.
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.
None.
None.
