+.SH NAME
+sys/wait.h
+\(em declarations for waiting
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <sys/wait.h>
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.IR <sys/wait.h>
+header shall define the following symbolic constants for use with
+\fIwaitpid\fR():
+.IP WCONTINUED 14
+Report status of continued child process.
+.IP WNOHANG 14
+Do not hang if no status is available; return immediately.
+.IP WUNTRACED 14
+Report status of stopped child process.
+.P
+The
+.IR <sys/wait.h>
+header shall define the following macros for analysis of process status
+values:
+.IP WEXITSTATUS 14
+Return exit status.
+.IP WIFCONTINUED 14
+True if child has been continued.
+.IP WIFEXITED 14
+True if child exited normally.
+.IP WIFSIGNALED 14
+True if child exited due to uncaught signal.
+.IP WIFSTOPPED 14
+True if child is currently stopped.
+.IP WSTOPSIG 14
+Return signal number that caused process to stop.
+.IP WTERMSIG 14
+Return signal number that caused process to terminate.
+.P
+The
+.IR <sys/wait.h>
+header shall define the following symbolic constants as possible values
+for the
+.IR options
+argument to
+\fIwaitid\fR():
+.IP WEXITED 14
+Wait for processes that have exited.
+.IP WNOWAIT 14
+Keep the process whose status is returned in
+.IR infop
+in a waitable state.
+.IP WSTOPPED 14
+Status is returned for any child that has stopped upon receipt of a
+signal.
+.P
+The
+WCONTINUED
+and WNOHANG constants, described above for
+\fIwaitpid\fR(),
+can also be used with
+\fIwaitid\fR().
+.P
+The type
+.BR idtype_t
+shall be defined as an enumeration type whose possible values shall
+include at least the following:
+P_ALL
+P_PGID
+P_PID
+.P
+The
+.IR <sys/wait.h>
+header shall define the
+.BR id_t
+and
+.BR pid_t
+types as described in
+.IR <sys/types.h> .
+.P
+The
+.IR <sys/wait.h>
+header shall define the
+.BR siginfo_t
+type and the
+.BR sigval
+union as described in
+.IR <signal.h> .
+.P
+Inclusion of the
+.IR <sys/wait.h>
+header may also make visible
+all symbols from
+.IR <signal.h> .
+.P
+The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined
+as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
