SYNTAX
wait
DESCRIPTION
Wait until all processes started with & have completed, and
report on abnormal terminations.
Because the wait(2) system call must be executed in the parent
process, the shell itself executes wait without creating a new
process.
SEE ALSO
csh(1), sh(1).

BUGS
Not all the processes of a pipeline with three or more stages are
children of the shell; thus, they cannot be waited for.
