2 * This file holds definitions relevent to the wait system call.
3 * Some of the options here are available only through the ``wait3''
4 * entry point; the old entry point with one argument has more fixed
5 * semantics, never returning status of unstopped children, hanging until
6 * a process terminates if any are outstanding, and never returns
7 * detailed information about process resource utilization (<vtimes.h>).

11 * Structure of the information in the first word returned by both
12 * wait and wait3. If w_stopval==WSTOPPED, then the second structure
13 * describes the information returned, else the first. See WUNTRACED below.

49 * which stop due to signals. If children are stopped and a wait without
50 * this option is done, it is as though they were still running... nothing
