-.SH DESCRIPTION
-These functions are nonstandard; in new programs, the use of
-.BR waitpid (2)
-or
-.BR waitid (2)
-is preferable.
-.P
-The
-.BR wait3 ()
-and
-.BR wait4 ()
-system calls are similar to
-.BR waitpid (2),
-but additionally return resource usage information about the
-child in the structure pointed to by
-.IR rusage .
-.P
-Other than the use of the
-.I rusage
-argument, the following
-.BR wait3 ()
-call:
-.P
-.in +4n
-.EX
-wait3(wstatus, options, rusage);
-.EE
-.in
-.P
-is equivalent to:
-.P
-.in +4n
-.EX
-waitpid(\-1, wstatus, options);
-.EE
-.in
-.P
-Similarly, the following
-.BR wait4 ()
-call:
-.P
-.in +4n
-.EX
-wait4(pid, wstatus, options, rusage);
-.EE
-.in
-.P
-is equivalent to:
-.P
-.in +4n
-.EX
-waitpid(pid, wstatus, options);
-.EE
-.in
-.P
-In other words,
-.BR wait3 ()
-waits of any child, while
-.BR wait4 ()
-can be used to select a specific child, or children, on which to wait.
-See
-.BR wait (2)
-for further details.
-.P
-If
-.I rusage
-is not NULL, the
-.I struct rusage
-to which it points will be filled with accounting information
-about the child.
-See
-.BR getrusage (2)
-for details.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-As for
-.BR waitpid (2).
-.SH ERRORS
-As for
-.BR waitpid (2).
-.SH STANDARDS
-None.
-.SH HISTORY
-4.3BSD.
-.P
-SUSv1 included a specification of
-.BR wait3 ();
-SUSv2 included
-.BR wait3 (),
-but marked it LEGACY;
-SUSv3 removed it.
-.P
-Including
-.I <sys/time.h>
-is not required these days, but increases portability.
-(Indeed,
-.I <sys/resource.h>
-defines the
-.I rusage
-structure with fields of type
-.I struct timeval
-defined in
-.IR <sys/time.h> .)
-.SS C library/kernel differences
-On Linux,
-.BR wait3 ()
-is a library function implemented on top of the
-.BR wait4 ()
-system call.
