*infop" "int options" +.Sh DESCRIPTION +The +.Fn waitid +function suspends execution of its calling process until +a selected state change occurs for a matching child process, +or a signal is received. +.Pp +The set of child processes to be queried is specified by the arguments +.Fa idtype +and +.Fa id . +.Bl -dash -offset indent +.It +If +.Fa idtype +is +.Dv P_PID , +.Fn waitid +waits for the child process with a process ID equal to +.Dv (pid_t)id . +.It +If +.Fa idtype +is +.Dv P_PGID , +.Fn waitid +waits 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 +waits for any child process and the +.Dv id +is ignored. +.El +.Pp +The +.Fa options +argument is the bitwise OR of zero or more of the following values: +.Bl -tag -width "WCONTINUED" +.It Dv WCONTINUED +Causes status to be reported for selected child processes that were +previously stopped and which have been continued by receipt of a +.Dv SIGCONT +signal. +.It Dv WEXITED +Reports the status of selected processes which have terminated. +.It Dv WNOHANG +Indicates that the call should not block if there are no selected processes +that have a status change to report. +.It Dv WNOWAIT +Keeps the process whose status is returned in a waitable state. +The process may be waited for again after this call completes. +.It Dv WSTOPPED +Reports the status of selected processes which are stopped due to a +.Dv SIGTTIN , SIGTTOU , SIGTSTP , +or +.Dv SIGSTOP +signal. +.It Dv WTRAPPED +Reports the status of selected processes which are stopped due to a +process tracing event +.Xr ( ptrace 2 ) . +.El +.Pp +At least one of +.Dv WCONTINUED , WEXITED , WSTOPPED , +or +.Dv WTRAPPED +must be specified. +.Pp +If +.Fn waitid +found a matching process, the structure referenced by +.Fa infop +is filled with the status of the process: +.Fa si_signo +is set to +.Dv SIGCHLD , +and +.Fa si_pid +and +.Fa si_uid +are set to the process ID and effective user ID of the matched process. +.Fa si_code +will be set to one of the following values: +.Bl -tag -width "CLD_CONTINUED" +.It Dv CLD_CONTINUED +The process was previously stopped and was continued. +.Fa si_status +will be set to +.Dv SIGCONT . +Only returned if +.Fa options +includes +.Dv WCONTINUED . +.It Dv CLD_DUMPED +The process was killed by a signal and a core file was generated. +.Fa si_status +will be set to the signal that killed the process. +Only returned if +.Fa options +includes +.Dv WEXITED . +.It Dv CLD_EXITED +The process exited normally. +.Fa si_status +will be set to the full +.Ft int +value that was passed to +.Xr _exit 2 . +Only returned if +.Fa options +includes +.Dv WEXITED . +.It Dv CLD_KILLED +The process was killed by a signal with generation of a core file. +.Fa si_status +will be set to the signal that killed the process. +Only returned if +.Fa options +includes +.Dv WEXITED . +.It Dv CLD_STOPPED +The process was stopped due to a signal. +.Fa si_status +will be set to the signal that stopped the process. +Only returned if +.Fa options +includes +.Dv WSTOPPED . +.It Dv CLD_TRAPPED +The process was stopped due to process tracing +.Xr ( ptrace 2 ) . +.Fa si_status +will be set to the signal that caused the trap. +Only returned if +.Fa options +includes +.Dv WTRAPPED . +.El +.Pp +If +.Dv WNOHANG +was specified and +.Fn waitid +didn't find a matching process, +.Fa si_signo +and +.Fa si_pid +will be set to zero. +.Sh RETURN VALUES +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. +.Sh ERRORS +.Fn waitid +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 infop +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 +Invalid or undefined flags were passed in the +.Fa options +argument, or +.Fa idtype +and +.Fa id +specified an invalid set of processes. +.El +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr _exit 2 , +.Xr ptrace 2 , +.Xr sigaction 2 , +.Xr wait 2 , +.Xr exit 3 +.Sh STANDARDS +The +.Fn waitid +function conforms to +.St -p1003.1-2008 . +The +.Dv
