DESCRIPTION

20       FORK() creates a process: returns 0 in child, process ID in parent.
21       WAITPID() takes an optional process id to wait for, and returns a
22       string with the process id, status, and additional status about the
23       child.  options is a string of optional flags (see the waitpid(2) man
24       page for details):
