On return from a successful .Fn wait call, the .Fa status area contains information about the process that reported a status change as defined below. .Pp The .Fn wait4 and .Fn wait6 system calls provide a more general interface for programs that need to wait for specific child processes, that need resource utilization statistics accumulated by child processes, or that require options. The other wait functions are implemented using either .Fn wait4 or .Fn wait6 . .Pp The .Fn wait6 function is the most general function in this family and its distinct features are: .Pp All of the desired process statuses to be waited on must be explicitly specified in .Fa options . The .Fn wait , .Fn waitpid , .Fn wait3 , and .Fn wait4 functions all implicitly wait for exited and trapped processes, but the .Fn waitid and .Fn wait6 functions require the corresponding .Dv WEXITED and .Dv WTRAPPED flags to be explicitly specified. This allows waiting for processes which have experienced other status changes without having to also handle the exit status from terminated processes. .Pp The .Fn wait6 function accepts a .Fa wrusage argument which points to a structure defined as: .Bd -literal struct __wrusage { struct rusage wru_self; struct rusage wru_children; }; .Ed .Pp This allows the calling process to collect resource usage statistics from both its own child process as well as from its grand children. When no resource usage statistics are needed this pointer can be .Dv NULL . .Pp The last argument .Fa infop must be either .Dv NULL or a pointer to a .Fa siginfo_t structure. If .Pf non- Dv NULL , the structure is filled with the same data as for a .Dv SIGCHLD signal delivered when the process changed state. .Pp The set of child processes to be queried is specified by the arguments .Fa idtype and .Fa id . The separate .Fa idtype and .Fa id arguments support many other types of identifiers in addition to process IDs and process group IDs. .Bl -bullet -offset indent .It If .Fa idtype is .Dv P_PID , .Fn waitid and .Fn wait6 wait for the child process with a process ID equal to .Dv (pid_t)id . .It If .Fa idtype is .Dv P_PGID , .Fn waitid and .Fn wait6 wait for the child process with a process group ID equal to .Dv (pid_t)id . .It If .Fa idtype is .Dv P_ALL , .Fn waitid and .Fn wait6 wait for any child process and the .Dv id is ignored. .It If .Fa idtype is .Dv P_PID or .Dv P_PGID and the .Dv id is zero, .Fn waitid and .Fn wait6 wait for any child process in the same process group as the caller. .El .Pp Non-standard identifier types supported by this implementation of .Fn waitid and .Fn wait6 are: .Bl -tag -width P_JAILID .It Dv P_UID Wait for processes whose effective user ID is equal to .Dv (uid_t) Fa id . .It Dv P_GID Wait for processes whose effective group ID is equal to .Dv (gid_t) Fa id . .It Dv P_SID Wait for processes whose session ID is equal to .Fa id . .\" This is just how sessions work, not sure this needs to be documented here If the child process started its own session, its session ID will be the same as its process ID. Otherwise the session ID of a child process will match the caller's session ID. .It Dv P_JAILID Waits for processes within a jail whose jail identifier is equal to .Fa id . .El .Pp For the .Fn waitpid and .Fn wait4 functions, the single .Fa wpid argument specifies the set of child processes for which to wait. .Bl -bullet -offset indent .It If .Fa wpid is -1, the call waits for any child process. .It If .Fa wpid is 0, the call waits for any child process in the process group of the caller. .It If .Fa wpid is greater than zero, the call waits for the process with process ID .Fa wpid . .It If .Fa wpid is less than -1, the call waits for any process whose process group ID equals the absolute value of .Fa wpid . .El .Pp The .Fa status argument is defined below. .Pp The .Fa options argument contains the bitwise OR of any of the following options. .Bl -tag -width WCONTINUED .It Dv WCONTINUED Report the status of selected processes that have continued from a job control stop by receiving a .Dv SIGCONT signal. .It Dv WNOHANG Do not block when there are no processes wishing to report status. .It Dv WUNTRACED Report the status of selected processes which are stopped due to a .Dv SIGTTIN , SIGTTOU , SIGTSTP , or .Dv SIGSTOP signal. .It Dv WSTOPPED An alias for .Dv WUNTRACED . .It Dv WTRAPPED Report the status of selected processes which are being traced via .Xr ptrace 2 and have trapped or reached a breakpoint. This flag is implicitly set for the functions .Fn wait , .Fn waitpid , .Fn wait3 , and .Fn wait4 . .br For the .Fn waitid and .Fn wait6 functions, the flag has to be explicitly included in .Fa options if status reports from trapped processes are expected. .It Dv WEXITED Report the status of selected processes which have terminated. This flag is implicitly set for the functions .Fn wait , .Fn waitpid , .Fn wait3 , and .Fn wait4 . .br For the .Fn waitid and .Fn wait6 functions, the flag has to be explicitly included in .Fa options if status reports from terminated processes are expected. .It Dv WNOWAIT Keep the process whose status is returned in a waitable state. The process may be waited for again after this call completes. .El .sp For the .Fn waitid and .Fn wait6 functions, at least one of the options .Dv WEXITED , .Dv WUNTRACED , .Dv WSTOPPED , .Dv WTRAPPED , or .Dv WCONTINUED must be specified. Otherwise there will be no events for the call to report. To avoid hanging indefinitely in such a case these functions return -1 with .Dv errno set to .Dv EINVAL . .Pp If .Fa rusage is non-NULL, a summary of the resources used by the terminated process and all its children is returned. .Pp If .Fa wrusage is non-NULL, separate summaries are returned for the resources used by the terminated process and the resources used by all its children. .Pp If .Fa infop is non-NULL, a .Dv siginfo_t structure is returned with the .Fa si_signo field set to .Dv SIGCHLD and the .Fa si_pid field set to the process ID of the process reporting status. For the exited process, the .Fa si_status field of the .Dv siginfo_t structure contains the full 32 bit exit status passed to .Xr _exit 2 ; the .Fa status argument of other calls only returns 8 lowest bits of the exit status. .Pp When the .Dv WNOHANG option is specified and no processes wish to report status, .Fn waitid sets the .Fa si_signo and .Fa si_pid fields in .Fa infop to zero. Checking these fields is the only way to know if a status change was reported. .Pp When the .Dv WNOHANG option is specified and no processes wish to report status, .Fn wait4 and .Fn wait6 return a process id of 0. .Pp The .Fn wait call is the same as .Fn wait4 with a .Fa wpid value of -1, with an .Fa options value of zero, and a .Fa rusage value of .Dv NULL . The .Fn waitpid function is identical to .Fn wait4 with an .Fa rusage value of .Dv NULL . The older .Fn wait3 call is the same as .Fn wait4 with a .Fa wpid value of -1. The .Fn wait4 function is identical to .Fn wait6 with the flags .Dv WEXITED and .Dv WTRAPPED set in .Fa options and .Fa infop set to .Dv NULL . .Pp The following macros may be used to test the current status of the process. Exactly one of the following four macros will evaluate to a non-zero .Pq true value: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fn WIFCONTINUED status True if the process has not terminated, and has continued after a job control stop. This macro can be true only if the wait call specified the .Dv WCONTINUED option. .It Fn WIFEXITED status True if the process terminated normally by a call to .Xr _exit 2 or .Xr exit 3 . .It Fn WIFSIGNALED status True if the process terminated due to receipt of a signal. .It Fn WIFSTOPPED status True if the process has not terminated, but has stopped and can be restarted. This macro can be true only if the wait call specified the .Dv WUNTRACED option or if the child process is being traced (see .Xr ptrace 2 ) . .El .Pp Depending on the values of those macros, the following macros produce the remaining status information about the child process: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fn WEXITSTATUS status If .Fn WIFEXITED status is true, evaluates to the low-order 8 bits of the argument passed to .Xr _exit 2 or .Xr exit 3 by the child. .It Fn WTERMSIG status If .Fn WIFSIGNALED status is true, evaluates to the number of the signal that caused the termination of the process. .It Fn WCOREDUMP status If .Fn WIFSIGNALED status is true, evaluates as true if the termination of the process was accompanied by the creation of a core file containing an image of the process when the signal was received. .It Fn WSTOPSIG status If .Fn WIFSTOPPED status is true, evaluates to the number of the signal that caused the process to stop. .El .Sh NOTES See .Xr sigaction 2 for a list of termination signals. A status of 0 indicates normal termination. .Pp If a parent process terminates without waiting for all of its child processes to terminate, the remaining child processes are assigned the parent process 1 ID (the init process ID). .Pp If a signal is caught while any of the .Fn wait calls are pending, the call may be interrupted or restarted when the signal-catching routine returns, depending on the options in effect for the signal; see discussion of .Dv SA_RESTART in .Xr sigaction 2 . .Pp The implementation queues one .Dv SIGCHLD signal for each child process whose status has changed; if .Fn wait returns because the status of a child process is available, the pending SIGCHLD signal associated with the process ID of the child process will be discarded. Any other pending .Dv SIGCHLD signals remain pending. .Pp If .Dv SIGCHLD is blocked and .Fn wait returns because the status of a child process is available, the pending .Dv SIGCHLD signal will be cleared unless another status of the child process is available. .Sh RETURN VALUES If .Fn wait returns due to a stopped, continued, or terminated child process, the process ID of the child is returned to the calling process. Otherwise, a value of \-1 is returned and .Va errno is set to indicate the error. .Pp If .Fn wait6 , .Fn wait4 , .Fn wait3 , or .Fn waitpid returns due to a stopped, continued, or terminated child process, the process ID of the child is returned to the calling process. If there are no children not previously awaited, -1 is returned with .Va errno set to .Er ECHILD . Otherwise, if .Dv WNOHANG is specified and there are no stopped, continued or exited children, 0 is returned. If an error is detected or a caught signal aborts the call, a value of -1 is returned and .Va errno is set to indicate the error. .Pp If .Fn waitid returns because one or more processes have a state change to report, 0 is returned. If an error is detected, a value of -1 is returned and .Va errno is set to indicate the error. If .Dv WNOHANG is specified and there are no stopped, continued or exited children, 0 is returned. The .Fa si_signo and .Fa si_pid fields of .Fa infop must be checked against zero to determine if a process reported status. .Pp .Fn wait called with -1 to wait for any child process will ignore a child that is referenced by a process descriptor (see .Xr pdfork 2 ) . Specific processes can still be waited on by specifying the process ID or descriptor (see .Xr pdwait 4 ) . .Sh ERRORS The .Fn wait function will fail and return immediately if: .Bl -tag -width Er .It Bq Er ECHILD The calling process has no existing unwaited-for child processes. .It Bq Er ECHILD No status from the terminated child process is available because the calling process has asked the system to discard such status by ignoring the signal .Dv SIGCHLD or setting the flag .Dv SA_NOCLDWAIT for that signal. .It Bq Er EFAULT The .Fa status or .Fa rusage argument points to an illegal address. (May not be detected before exit of a child process.) .It Bq Er EINTR The call was interrupted by a caught signal, or the signal did not have the .Dv SA_RESTART flag set. .It Bq Er EINVAL An invalid value was specified for .Fa options , or .Fa idtype and .Fa id do not specify a valid set of processes. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr _exit 2 , .Xr ptrace 2 , .Xr sigaction 2 , .Xr exit 3 , .Xr siginfo 3 .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn wait , .Fn waitpid , and .Fn waitid functions are defined by POSIX; .Fn wait6 , .Fn wait4 , and .Fn wait3 are not specified by POSIX. The .Fn WCOREDUMP macro is an extension to the POSIX interface. .Pp The ability to use the .Dv WNOWAIT flag with .Fn waitpid is an extension; .Tn POSIX only permits this flag with .Fn waitid . .Sh HISTORY The .Fn wait function appeared in .At v6 .
