PXFWAIT(3F)					       Last changed: 1-6-98

NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     PXFWAIT, PXFWAITPID - Obtains information about a calling process'
     child process

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     SUBROUTINE	PXFWAIT	(istat,	iretpid, ierror)
     INTEGER istat, iretpid, ierror

     SUBROUTINE	PXFWAITPID (ipid, istat, ioptions, iretpid, ierror)
     INTEGER ipid, istat, ioptions, iretpid, ierror

IMPLEMENTATION    [Toc]    [Back]

     UNICOS, UNICOS/mk,	and IRIX systems

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     On	IRIX systems, this routine is in libfortran.so which is	linked by
     default when compiling programs with the MIPSpro 7	Fortran	90 compiler
     or	when compiling programs	with the -craylibs option to the MIPSpro
     7.2 F77 compiler.

     The PXFWAIT routine uses the wait(2) system call to obtain	information
     about one of the calling process's	child processes.

     The PXFWAITPID routine uses the waitpid(2)	system call to obtain
     information about one of the calling process's child processes.

     When using	the CF90 compiler or MIPSpro 7 Fortran 90 compiler on
     UNICOS, UNICOS/mk,	or IRIX	systems, all arguments must be of default
     kind unless documented otherwise.	On UNICOS and UNICOS/mk, default
     kind is KIND=8 for	integer, real, complex,	and logical arguments; on
     IRIX, the default kind is KIND=4.

     The following is a	list of	arguments for this routine:

     ipid      An input	integer	variable containing the	child process ID
	       for which information is	requested.

	       * If ipid is equal to -1, status	is requested for any child
		 process; PXFWAITPID is	then equivalent	to PXFWAIT.

	       * If ipid is greater than 0, it specifies the process ID	of
		 a single child	process	for which status is requested.

	       * If ipid is equal to 0,	status is requested for	any child
		 process with a	process	group ID that is equal to that of
		 the calling process.

	       * If ipid is less than -1, status is requested for any child
		 process with a	process	group ID that is equal to the
		 absolute value	of ipid.

     istat     An output integer variable for the status information.

     ioptions  An input	integer	variable constructed from an inclusive OR
	       of zero or more of the following	options:

	       WNOHANG	   The waitpid system call does	not suspend
			   execution of	the calling process if status is
			   not immediately available for one of	the calling
			   processes specified by pid.

	       WUNTRACED   If job control is supported,	the status of any
			   child processes specified by	pid that are
			   stopped, and	with a status that has not yet been
			   reported since they stopped,	are also reported
			   to the requesting process.

	       UNICOS and UNICOS/mk systems only:

	       WMTWAIT	   Waits for the children of any member	of the
			   multitasking	group.	In UNICOS 9.0 this is the
			   default behavior for	both wait and waitpid.	The
			   flag	is still provided for source compatibility.
			   To get the previous behavior, see the
			   description of the WLWPWAIT flag.

	       WLWPWAIT	   Waits only for the immediate	children of the
			   calling light-weight	process	(LWP).	This flag
			   is not recommended for general use.

     iretpid   An output integer variable for the child	process	ID.

     ierror    An output integer variable that contains	zero if	the routine
	       was successful or nonzero if the	routine	was not	successful.

     Any of the	following error	values may be returned:

     ECHILD    PXFWAIT:	If the calling process has no existing unwaited-for
	       child processes.
	       PXFWAITPID:  The	process	or process group specified by ipid
	       does not	exist or is not	a child	of the calling process.

     EINTR     If receipt of a signal other than the death-of-a-childprocess
 signal.

     EINVAL    The value of the	ioptions argument is not valid.

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

   PXFWAIT example:
	  program pxftest
	  integer istat, iretpid, ipid,	ierror,	i, j

	  CALL PXFFORK(ipid,ierror)
	  if (ierror .ne. 0) then
	      print *,'FAILED: PXFFORK call failed with	error =	',ierror
	  else
	      if (ipid .eq. 0) then
		 j = 0
		 do i=1,100000
		    j =	j + i
		 enddo
		 stop
	      else
		 CALL PXFWAIT(istat,iretpid,ierror)
		 if (ierror .eq. 0) then
		     print *,'PASSED: PXFWAIT normal test'
		 else
		     print *,'FAILED: PXFWAIT call with	error =	',ierror
		 endif
	      endif
	  endif
	  end

   PXFWAITPID example:
	  program pxftest
	  integer istat, iretpid, ipid,	ierror,	i, j, ioptions

	  CALL PXFFORK(ipid,ierror)
	  if (ierror .ne. 0) then
	     print *,'FAILED: PXFFORK call failed with error = ',ierror
	  else
	     if	(ipid .eq. 0) then
		j = 0
		do i=1,100000
		   j = j + i
		enddo
		stop
	     else
		ioptions = 0
		CALL PXFWAITPID(ipid,istat,ioptions,iretpid,ierror)
		if (ierror .eq.	0) then
		   print *,'PASSED: PXFWAITPID normal test'
		else
		   print *,'FAILED: PXFWAITPID call with error = ',ierror
		endif
	     endif
	  endif
