.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fBsyd-pause\fR is a tiny, long-lived process that simply waits until it is
terminated by a signal.\& By default, it honors all standard termination
signals; options allow you to ignore specific signals so the process
continues running when they are delivered.\& This is useful as a minimal
placeholder, supervisor target, or synchronization sentinel in service
pipelines and sandboxes.\&
