/*	wait.h	6.1	83/07/29	*/

/*
 * This file holds definitions relevent to the wait system call.
 * Some of the options here are available only through the ``wait3''
 * entry point; the old entry point with one argument has more fixed
 * semantics, never returning status of unstopped children, hanging until
 * a process terminates if any are outstanding, and never returns
 * detailed information about process resource utilization (<vtimes.h>).
 */

/*
 * Structure of the information in the first word returned by both
 * wait and wait3.  If w_stopval==WSTOPPED, then the second structure
 * describes the information returned, else the first.  See WUNTRACED below.
