MBKWAITPID(3) MBK UTILITY FUNCTIONS MBKWAITPID(3) NAME mbkwaitpid - wait for the end of a particular child process. SYNOPSIS #include "mut.h" int mbkwaitpid( pid, mode, status ) int pid; int mode; int *status; PARAMETER pid Process number to wait. mode If mode is set to 1, this function return only when the child process is terminated. Otherwise, func- tion return immediately. status If not NULL, the exit status of terminated child process. DESCRIPTION mbkwaitpid provides a centralized way to catch terminated child process. Because some Alliance library can create a child process, and user application can do so, there must be a centralized way to get the exit status of process. The programmer should never modify the handler for SIGCHLD. RETURN VALUE mbkwaitpid return 1 if child process is terminated, and 0 if isn't (case mode != 1 ). SEE ALSO mbk(1), mbksetautoackchld().
