<para>
The <function>pcntl_waitpid</function> function suspends execution
of the current process until a child as specified by the
<parameter>pid</parameter> argument has exited, or until a signal
is delivered whose action is to terminate the current process or
to call a signal handling function. If a child as requested by
<parameter>pid</parameter> has already exited by the time of the
call (a so-called "zombie" process), the function returns
immediately. Any system resources used by the child are
freed. Please see your system's waitpid(2) man page for specific
details as to how waitpid works on your system.
