NAME
6       mysql_waitpid - kill process and wait for its termination
7

SYNOPSIS
9       mysql_waitpid [options] pid wait_time
10

DESCRIPTION
12       mysql_waitpid signals a process to terminate and waits for the process
13       to exit. It uses the kill() system call and Unix signals, so it runs on
14       Unix and Unix-like systems.
15
16       Invoke mysql_waitpid like this:
17
18          shell> mysql_waitpid [options] pid wait_time
19
20       mysql_waitpid sends signal 0 to the process identified by pid and waits
21       up to wait_time seconds for the process to terminate.  pid and
22       wait_time must be positive integers.
23
24       If process termination occurs within the wait time or the process does
25       not exist, mysql_waitpid returns 0. Otherwise, it returns 1.
26
27       If the kill() system call cannot handle signal 0, mysql_waitpid() uses
28       signal 1 instead.
29
30       mysql_waitpid understands the following options:
31
32       ·  --help, -?, -I
33
34          Display a help message and exit.
35
36       ·  --verbose, -v
37
38          Verbose mode. Display a warning if signal 0 could not be used and
39          signal 1 is used instead.
40
41       ·  --version, -V
42
43          Display version information and exit.
