WAIT(3F)                COMMAND REFERENCE                WAIT(3F)



NAME
     wait - wait for a process to terminate

SYNOPSIS
     integer function wait (status)
     integer status

DESCRIPTION
     Wait causes its caller to be suspended until a signal is
     received or one of its child processes terminates.  If any
     child has terminated since the last wait, return is
     immediate; if there are no children, return is immediate
     with an error code.

     If the returned value is positive, it is the process ID of
     the child, and status is its termination status (see
     wait(2)).  If the returned value is negative, it is the
     negation of a system error code.

RETURN VALUE
     If the returned value is positive, it is the process ID of
     the child and status is its termination status (see
     wait(2)).  If the returned value is negative, it is the
     negation of a system error code.
