Since wait4(2) is deprecated and people should use waitpid(2) instead,
For simplicity I'd just do s/wait4/waitpid/, because AFAICS that's what
glibc uses.
and the specific wait function used is largely an internal detail,
update the references to talk about the wait "family" of functions.
But if we chose to talk about families, then...
+status of the command as returned by one of the
+.BR wait (2)
+family of calls.
... maybe s/calls/functions/?
"family of functions" seems to be the most widely used term:
$ grep -rhoP 'family of (functions|(sys(tem )?)?calls)' man* | sort | uniq -c | sort
1 family of calls
1 family of system calls
2 family of syscalls
20 family of functions
