The + <parameter>pid</parameter> parameter specifies the PID of the + process to watch. The <parameter>handler</parameter> must + reference a function to call when the process changes state. The + handler function will be passed the + <parameter>userdata</parameter> pointer, which may be chosen + freely by the caller. The handler also receives a pointer to a + <structname>siginfo_t</structname> structure containing + information about the child process event. The + <parameter>options</parameter> parameter determines which state + changes will be watched for. It must contain an OR-ed mask of + <constant>WEXITED</constant> (watch for the child process + terminating), <constant>WSTOPPED</constant> (watch for the child + process being stopped by a signal), and + <constant>WCONTINUED</constant> (watch for the child process being + resumed by a signal).
