Waits for and returns the return code of the child process.
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.
