8.7 进程控制_waitid

      waitid函数类似于waitpid，但提供了更多的灵活性。     

• #include <sys/wait.h>
• int waitid(idtype_t idtype, id_t id, siginfo_t *infop. int options);

返回值:成功返回0，出错返回-1

      waitid允许一个进程指定要等待的子进程。但它使用单独的参数表示要等待的子进程的类型，而不是将此与进程ID或进程组ID组合成一个参数。id参数的作用与idtype的值相关。

 

Constant	Description
P_PID	Wait for a particular process: id contains the process ID of the child to wait for.
P_PGID	Wait for any child process in a particular process group: id contains the process group ID of the children to wait for.
P_ALL	Wait for any child process: id is ignored.

      options参数是图8.3中各标志的按位“或”。

Constant	Description
WCONTINUED	Wait for a process that has previously stopped and has been continued, and whose status has not yet been reported.
WEXITED	Wait for processes that have exited.
WNOHANG	Return immediately instead of blocking if there is no child exit status available.
WNOWAIT	Don't destroy the child exit status. The child's exit status can be retrieved by a subsequent call to wait , waitid ,or waitpid .
WSTOPPED	Wait for a process that has stopped and whose status has not yet been reported.

infop参数是指向siginfo结构的指针。该结构包含了有关引起子进程状态改变的生成信号的详细信息。
