  \begin{methoddesc}{wait}{}
! Waits for and returns the status code of the child process.  The
! status code encodes both the return code of the process and
! information about whether it exited using the \cfunction{exit()}
! system call or died due to a signal.  Functions to help interpret the
! status code are defined in the \refmodule{os} module; see section
! \ref{os-process} for the \function{W\var{*}()} family of functions.
