Overview

*******************************************************************

<code>Process::Status</code> encapsulates the information on the
status of a running or terminated system process. The built-in
variable <code>$?</code> is either +nil+ or a
<code>Process::Status</code> object.

   fork { exit 99 }   #=> 26557
   Process.wait       #=> 26557
   $?.class           #=> Process::Status
   $?.to_i            #=> 25344
   $? >> 8            #=> 99
   $?.stopped?        #=> false
   $?.exited?         #=> true
   $?.exitstatus      #=> 99

Posix systems record information on processes using a 16-bit
integer.  The lower bits record the process status (stopped,
exited, signaled) and the upper bits possibly contain additional
information (for example the program's return code in the case of
exited processes). Pre Ruby 1.8, these bits were exposed directly
to the Ruby program. Ruby now encapsulates these in a
<code>Process::Status</code> object. To maximize compatibility,
however, these objects retain a bit-oriented interface. In the
descriptions that follow, when we talk about the integer value of
_stat_, we're referring to this 16 bit value.
