NAME
       wait - wait for a process to terminate

SYNOPSIS
       integer*4 function wait (status)
       integer*4 status

DESCRIPTION
       wait  causes  its caller to be suspended until a signal is received, or
       until one of its child processes terminates.  If any child  has	termi‐
       nated  since  the last wait, return is immediate; if there are no chil‐
       dren, 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.
