  <pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">This looks mostly fine, but I&#39;m having trouble finding any particular resource which definitively pegs this particular status from wait4 as indicating what is implied.  I don&#39;t know.

Looking at the man page for wait4, I think reading specific values to evaluate success or failure might be the wrong way to go and instead perhaps the macros listed on the man page might be more proper.</pre>
