DESCRIPTION

18       mbksetautoackchld provide a centralised way to catch  terminated  child
19       process.  Because some Alliance library can create a child process, and
20       user application can do so, there must be a centralized way to get  the
21       exit  status of process. If the programmer don't want to know the state
22       of a child process, or if he don't want to know what is the terminaison
23       code  of such process, he must tells it to Alliance with this call. The
24       programmer should never modify the handler of SIGCHLD.
