rpwait(2) - Linux man page

Name

rpwait - Wait for a child LAM process to terminate.

C Synopsis

int rpwait (int *nodeid, int *pid, int *status);

Fortran Synopsis

subroutine RPWT (nodeid, pid, status, ierr)
integer nodeid, pid, status, ierr

Description

The rpwait() function enables a LAM process to wait for a child process, started by the calling process with rploadgo(2), rpgo(2) or rpcreate(2), to exit. The child process must have been created with the RTF_WAIT runtime flag.

The arguments of rpwait() are all value returned. After the function returns, the arguments hold information on one exited child process. There is no function to wait on a specific process. The nodeid argument points to the node identifier on which the child process was running. The pid argument points to the child's process identifier. The status argument points to the exit status code, passed by the child process to kexit(2).
