    WAIT(1)             UNIX Programmer's Manual		  WAIT(1)

    NAME
         wait - await completion of process

    SYNOPSIS
         wait

    DESCRIPTION
         Wait until all processes started with & have completed, and
         report on abnormal terminations.

         Because the wait(2) system call must be executed in the
         parent process, the Shell itself executes wait, without
         creating a new process.

    SEE ALSO
         sh(1)

    BUGS
         Not all the processes of a 3- or more-stage pipeline are
         children of the Shell, and thus can't be waited for.  (This
         bug does not apply to csh(1).)
