CALL WAIT CALLER ID (VoIP)

This page is part of release 3.14 of the Linux

man-pages

project.
A description of the project,

Conforming to

SVr4, 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.

Description

All of these system calls are used to wait for state changes
in a child of the calling process, and obtain information
about the child whose state has changed.
A state change is considered to be: the child terminated;
the child was stopped by a signal; or the child was resumed by a signal.
In the case of a terminated child, performing a wait allows
the system to release the resources associated with the child;
if a wait is not performed, then the terminated child remains in
a “zombie” state (see NOTES below).

Linux notes

In the Linux kernel, a kernel-scheduled thread is not a distinct
construct from a process.
Instead, a thread is simply a process
that is created using the Linux-unique

clone
(2)

system call; other routines such as the portable

pthread_create
(3)

call are implemented using

clone
(2).

Before Linux 2.4, a thread was just a special case of a process,
and as a consequence one thread could not wait on the children
of another thread, even when the latter belongs to the same thread group.
However, POSIX prescribes such functionality, and since Linux 2.4
a thread can, and by default will, wait on children of other threads
in the same thread group.

The following Linux-specific
options

are for use with children created using
clone(2);

they cannot be used with
waitid():

__WCLONE

Wait for “clone” children only.
If omitted then wait for “non-clone” children only.
(A “clone” child is one which delivers no signal, or a signal other than
SIGCHLD

to its parent upon termination.)
This option is ignored if
__WALL

is also specified.

__WALL (since Linux 2.4)

Wait for all children, regardless of
type (“clone” or “non-clone”).

__WNOTHREAD (since Linux 2.4)

Do not wait for children of other threads in
the same thread group.
This was the default before Linux 2.4.

Notes

A child that terminates, but has not been waited for becomes a “zombie”.
The kernel maintains a minimal set of information about the zombie
process (PID, termination status, resource usage information)
in order to allow the parent to later perform a wait to obtain
information about the child.
As long as a zombie is not removed from the system via a wait,
it will consume a slot in the kernel process table, and if
this table fills, it will not be possible to create further processes.
If a parent process terminates, then its “zombie” children (if any)
are adopted by

init
(8),

which automatically performs a wait to remove the zombies.

Wait() and waitpid()

The

wait
()

system call suspends execution of the calling process until one of its
children terminates.
The call

wait(&status)

is equivalent to:

 waitpid(-1, &status, 0);

The
waitpid()

system call suspends execution of the calling process until a
child specified by
pid

argument has changed state.
By default,
waitpid()

waits only for terminated children, but this behavior is modifiable
via the
options

argument, as described below.

The value of
pid

can be:

The value of
options

is an OR of zero or more of the following constants:

WNOHANG

return immediately if no child has exited.

WUNTRACED

also return if a child has stopped
(but not traced via
ptrace(2)).

Status for
traced

children which have stopped is provided
even if this option is not specified.

WCONTINUED (since Linux 2.6.10)

also return if a stopped child has been resumed by delivery of
SIGCONT.

(For Linux-only options, see below.)

If
status

is not NULL,
wait()

and
waitpid()

store status information in the int to which it points.
This integer can be inspected with the following macros (which
take the integer itself as an argument, not a pointer to it,
as is done in
wait()

and
waitpid()!):

WIFEXITED(status)

returns true if the child terminated normally, that is,
by calling
exit(3)

or
_exit(2),

or by returning from main().

WEXITSTATUS(status)

returns the exit status of the child.
This consists of the least significant 8 bits of the
status

argument that the child specified in a call to
exit(3)

or
_exit(2)

or as the argument for a return statement in main().
This macro should only be employed if
WIFEXITED

returned true.

WIFSIGNALED(status)

returns true if the child process was terminated by a signal.

WTERMSIG(status)

returns the number of the signal that caused the child process to
terminate.
This macro should only be employed if
WIFSIGNALED

returned true.

WCOREDUMP(status)

returns true if the child produced a core dump.
This macro should only be employed if
WIFSIGNALED

returned true.
This macro is not specified in POSIX.1-2001 and is not available on
some Unix implementations (e.g., AIX, SunOS).
Only use this enclosed in #ifdef WCOREDUMP … #endif.

WIFSTOPPED(status)

returns true if the child process was stopped by delivery of a signal;
this is only possible if the call was done using
WUNTRACED

or when the child is being traced (see
ptrace(2)).

WSTOPSIG(status)

returns the number of the signal which caused the child to stop.
This macro should only be employed if
WIFSTOPPED

returned true.

WIFCONTINUED(status)

(since Linux 2.6.10)
returns true if the child process was resumed by delivery of
SIGCONT.

Waitid()

The

waitid
()

system call (available since Linux 2.6.9) provides more precise
control over which child state changes to wait for.

The
idtype

and
id

arguments select the child(ren) to wait for, as follows:

idtype == P_PID

Wait for the child whose process ID matches
id.

idtype == P_PGID

Wait for any child whose process group ID matches
id.

idtype == P_ALL

Wait for any child;
id

is ignored.

The child state changes to wait for are specified by ORing
one or more of the following flags in
options:

WEXITED

Wait for children that have terminated.

WSTOPPED

Wait for children that have been stopped by delivery of a signal.

WCONTINUED

Wait for (previously stopped) children that have been
resumed by delivery of
SIGCONT.

The following flags may additionally be ORed in
options:

WNOHANG

As for
waitpid().

WNOWAIT

Leave the child in a waitable state; a later wait call
can be used to again retrieve the child status information.

Upon successful return,
waitid()

fills in the following fields of the
siginfo_t

structure pointed to by
infop:
