+If \var{pid} is greater than \code{0}, \function{waitpid()} requests
+status information for that specific process.  If \var{pid} is
+\code{0}, the request is for the status of any child in the process
+group of the current process.  If \var{pid} is \code{-1}, the request
+pertains to any child of the current process.  If \var{pid} is less
+than \code{-1}, status is requested for any process in the process
+group \code{-\var{pid}} (the absolute value of \var{pid}).
