It adds to wait() some of the functionality of wait3(), namely the use of wait3 options. It also lets you specify a set of child processes for which status is requested, i.e. a process with a specific pid or process group ID. It's my understanding that it will make it's appearance in SysV R4 or any OS thats going to be POSIX 1003.1 compliant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gerry Baumgartner | gerry@ssd.harris.com System Software Development | or gerry%ssd.harris.com@eddie.mit.edu Harris Computer Systems Division | or ...!{mit-eddie,uunet,novavax}!hcx1!gerry Fort Lauderdale FL 33309 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
