- /* Wait for a subprocess to finish. Return its exit code.
- If it didn't terminate correctly, exit if exit_on_error is true, otherwise
- return 127.
- Arguments:
- - child is the pid of the subprocess.
- - progname is the name of the program executed by the subprocess, used for
- error messages.
- - If ignore_sigpipe is true, consider a subprocess termination due to
- SIGPIPE as equivalent to a success. This is suitable for processes whose
- only purpose is to write to standard output. This flag can be safely set
- to false when the process' standard output is known to go to DEV_NULL.
- - If null_stderr is true, the usual error message to stderr will be omitted.
- This is suitable when the subprocess does not fulfill an important task.
- - slave_process should be set to true if the process has been launched as a
- slave process.
- - If exit_on_error is true, any error will cause the main process to exit
- with an error status.
- - If termsigp is not NULL: *termsig will be set to the signal that
- terminated the subprocess (if supported by the platform: not on native
- Windows platforms), otherwise 0, and the error message about the signal
- that terminated the subprocess will be omitted.
- Prerequisites: The signal handler for SIGCHLD should not be set to SIG_IGN,
- otherwise this function will not work. */
