| Don't we need to report an error because of the "shall" wording in the
| ERRORS section.
|
| [...]
| The waitid() function shall fail if:
|
| [ECHILD]
| The calling process has no existing unwaited-for child processes.
| [...]
And also, or course, if the parent has a (single) child process (unwaited),
say child_pid, but we do
waitid(P_PID, child_pid + 100, ..., WNOHANG, ...)
then that clause doesn't apply (whereas the text in the ECHILD case for
waitpid() would) as the process does have an existing unwaited for child
process - just not the one that the waitid() is asking about.
The WNOHANG there is actually probably irrelevant.
