✨ PROLOG ✨

This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.

Or... the interface might not even be implemented on Linux at all. 💀 yeah. that's a thing. check before you commit, bestie.

🌸 NAME 🌸

sigpause — remove a signal from the signal mask and suspend the thread

periodt. that's the whole job description. remove a signal, then suspend the thread. she's simple, she's iconic, she does exactly one thing. 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the shape of her:

#include <signal.h>

int sigpause(int sig);

so you pull in <signal.h>, and then it's int sigpause(int sig); — takes one int called sig, hands you back an int. clean. no notes. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so lowkey this one is short and sweet — it's giving "see the other page":

Refer to sighold().

that's it. that's the description. go read sighold(), she's got the whole story. this page is just the vibes. 💅
