builtin help wait



  • wait: wait [-n] [id ...]
        Wait for job completion and return exit status.
    
        Waits for each process identified by an ID, which may be a process ID or a
        job specification, and reports its termination status.  If ID is not
        given, waits for all currently active child processes, and the return
        status is zero.  If ID is a a job specification, waits for all processes
        in that job's pipeline.
    
        If the -n option is supplied, waits for the next job to terminate and
        returns its exit status.
    
        Exit Status:
        Returns the status of the last ID; fails if ID is invalid or an invalid
        option is given.
