pause(bitmask) -> None Pause or unpause a curl handle. Bitmask should be a value such as PAUSE_RECV or PAUSE_CONT. Corresponds to `curl_easy_pause`_ in libcurl. The argument should be derived from the ``PAUSE_RECV``, ``PAUSE_SEND``, ``PAUSE_ALL`` and ``PAUSE_CONT`` constants. Raises pycurl.error exception upon failure. .. _curl_easy_pause: https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_pause.html
