wait3

, wait4

- wait for process to terminate or stop

Synopsis

#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>

pid_t wait3(int *statusp, int options, struct rusage *rusage);
pid_t wait4(pid_t pid, int *statusp, int options, struct rusage *rusage);

Description

The wait3() function delays its caller until a signal is received or one of its child processes terminates or stops due to tracing. If any child process has died or stopped due to tracing and this has not already been reported, return is immediate, returning the process ID and status of one of those children. If that child process has died, it is discarded. If there are no children, -1 is returned immediately. If there are only running or stopped but reported children, the calling process is blocked.

If statusp is not a null pointer, then on return from a successful wait3() call, the status of the child process is stored in the integer pointed to by statusp. *statusp indicates the cause of termination and other information about the terminated process in the following manner:

The options argument is constructed from the bitwise inclusive OR of zero or more of the following flags, defined in <sys/wait.h>:

WNOHANG

Execution of the calling process is not suspended if status is not immediately available for any child process.

WUNTRACED

The status of any child processes that are stopped, and whose status has not yet been reported since they stopped, are also reported to the requesting process.

If rusage is not a null pointer, a summary of the resources used by the terminated process and all its children is returned. Only the user time used and the system time used are currently available. They are returned in the ru_utime and ru_stime, members of the rusage structure, respectively.

When the WNOHANG option is specified and no processes have status to report, wait3() returns 0. The WNOHANG and WUNTRACED options may be combined by the bitwise OR operation of the two values.

The wait4() function is an extended interface. If pid is 0, wait4() is equivalent to wait3(). If pid has a nonzero value, wait4() returns status only for the indicated process ID, but not for any other child processes. If pid has a negative value, wait4() return status only for child processes whose process group ID is equal to the absolute value of pid. The status can be evaluated using the macros defined by wait.h(3HEAD).

Return Values

If wait3() or wait4() returns due to a stopped or terminated child process, the process ID of the child is returned to the calling process. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

If wait3() or wait4() return due to the delivery of a signal to the calling process, -1 is returned and errno is set to EINTR. If WNOHANG was set in options, it has at least one child process specified by pid for which status is not available, and status is not available for any process specified by pid, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

The wait3() and wait4() functions return 0 if WNOHANG is specified and there are no stopped or exited children, and return the process ID of the child process if they return due to a stopped or terminated child process. Otherwise, they return -1 and set errno to indicate the error.

Errors

The wait3() and wait4() functions will fail and return immediately if:

ECHILD

The calling process has no existing unwaited-for child processes.

EFAULT

The statusp or rusage arguments point to an illegal address.

EINTR

The function was interrupted by a signal. The value of the location pointed to by statusp is undefined.

EINVAL

The value of options is not valid.

The wait4() function may fail if:

ECHILD

The process specified by pid does not exist or is not a child of the calling process.

The wait3()and wait4() functions will terminate prematurely, return -1, and set errno to EINTR upon the arrival of a signal whose SA_RESTART bit in its flags field is not set (see sigaction(2)).

Attributes

See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

ATTRIBUTE TYPE
ATTRIBUTE VALUE
MT-Level
Async-Signal-Safe

Notes

If a parent process terminates without waiting on its children, the initialization process (process ID = 1) inherits the children.

The wait3() and wait4() functions are automatically restarted when a process receives a signal while awaiting termination of a child process, unless the SA_RESTART bit is not set in the flags for that signal.
