/* * call-seq: * Process.wait() => fixnum * Process.wait(pid=-1, flags=0) => fixnum * Process.waitpid(pid=-1, flags=0) => fixnum * * Waits for a child process to exit, returns its process id, and * sets <code>$?</code> to a <code>Process::Status</code> object * containing information on that process. Which child it waits on * depends on the value of _pid_: * * > 0:: Waits for the child whose process ID equals _pid_. * * 0:: Waits for any child whose process group ID equals that of the * calling process. * * -1:: Waits for any child process (the default if no _pid_ is * given). * * < -1:: Waits for any child whose process group ID equals the absolute * value of _pid_. * * The _flags_ argument may be a logical or of the flag values * <code>Process::WNOHANG</code> (do not block if no child available) * or <code>Process::WUNTRACED</code> (return stopped children that * haven't been reported).
