Waits for the process identified by ID, which may be a process ID or a job specification, and reports its termination status. If ID is not given, waits for all currently active child processes, and the return status is zero. If ID is a a job specification, waits for all processes in the job's pipeline. Exit Status: Returns the status of ID; fails if ID is invalid or an invalid option is given. $END $BUILTIN wait $FUNCTION wait_builtin $DEPENDS_ON !JOB_CONTROL $SHORT_DOC wait [pid] Wait for process completion and return exit status. Waits for the specified process and reports its termination status. If PID is not given, all currently active child processes are waited for, and the return code is zero. PID must be a process ID.
