Hi Kashyap,
> How can I wait for a forked child to finish in picoLisp?
Unless you call wait() via 'native', there is no explicit interface to this
system call.
If you start the child via 'in', 'out', 'call' or 'pipe', the waiting is handled
by PicoLisp internally for you.
If you need to call 'fork', then you must wait "by hand", e.g. by calling (kill
0 Pid) in a loop, or check the return value of (kids).
(if (fork)
(let Pid @ # In parent
(while (kill Pid 0)
(wait 200) )
#{Child terminated}# )
# In child
#{Child code}# )
☺/ A!ex
