@etchedpixels does it have waitpid already? can you waitpid(1, &status, 0)?

@etchedpixels it sleeps indeed, the code is easy to check. I'm very sure Linux does not.

@etchedpixels I think it changed in 4.3 when https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/commit/baffb38b8143b1a9fb9b8f85315071b0931617fd introduced an explicit list of child processes, where pid 1 doesn't include itself.

@etchedpixels I doubt you find any system that doesn't return ECHILD?

Sometimes I feel not very smart, but then I read the comments on the orange site and feel better.
