The sigpause program


Usage

  sigpause [ -cdbu sig -an ] [ prog ]
where prog is one or more arguments specifying a program to run.

Description

Each option that takes a signal as its argument accepts either a number or one of the (case insensitive) strings ALRM, CHLD, CONT, HUP, INT, PIPE, or TERM.

Options are:

After processing options, sigpause pauses waiting for unblocked signals. A caught signal causes sigpause to execute prog, or exit 0 in the absence of prog.
