     The options are as follows:

     -v      Print the exit status when each process terminates.

     -c      Return 111 if any process exited non-successfully.

EXIT STATUS

     The pwait utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

     Invalid pids elicit a warning message but are otherwise ignored.
