NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     PXFPAUSE -	Suspends process execution until signal

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     SUBROUTINE	PXFPAUSE (ierror)
     INTEGER ierror

IMPLEMENTATION    [Toc]    [Back]

     UNICOS, UNICOS/mk,	and IRIX systems

STANDARDS    [Toc]    [Back]

     IEEE standard interface for FORTRAN 77

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The PXFPAUSE subroutine uses the pause(2) system call to suspend the
     calling process until it receives a signal.  The signal must be one
     that is not currently set to be ignored by	the calling process.

     The following argument is valid for this routine:

     ierrno
	  A default integer output variable that contains nonzero if
	  PXFPAUSE returned.  This subroutine never returns with a zero	or
	  successful status.

     On	IRIX systems, this routine is in libfortran.so which is	linked by
     default when compiling programs with the MIPSpro 7	Fortran	90 compiler
     or	when compiling programs	with the -craylibs option to the MIPSpro
     7.2 F77 compiler.

     When using	the CF90 compiler or MIPSpro 7 Fortran 90 compiler on
     UNICOS, UNICOS/mk,	or IRIX	systems, all arguments must be of default
     kind unless documented otherwise. On UNICOS and UNICOS/mk,	default
     kind is KIND=8 for	integer, real, complex,	and logical arguments; on
     IRIX systems, the default kind is KIND=4.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     Replace any Fortran reference to pause() with a subroutine	call to
     PXFPAUSE.

     On	UNICOS and UNICOS/mk systems, pause is a function or a subroutine
     reference.	 On IRIX systems, it is	a function reference.
