Wait for job completion and return exit status.

    Waits for each process identified by an ID, which may be a process ID or a
    job specification, and reports its termination status.  If ID is not
    given, waits for all currently active child processes, and the return
    status is zero.  If ID is a a job specification, waits for all processes
    in that job's pipeline.

    If the -n option is supplied, waits for the next job to terminate and
    returns its exit status.

    Exit Status:
    Returns the status of the last ID; fails if ID is invalid or an invalid
    option is given.

wait命令用来等待指令的指令，直到其执行完毕后返回终端。该指令常用于shell脚本编程中，待指定的指令执行完成后，才会继续执行后面的任务。该指令等待作业时，在作业标识号前必须添加备份号"%"

wait [作业指示或进程号]

    1.等待作业号或者进程号制定的进程退出，返回最后一个作业或进程的退出状态状态。如果没有制定参数，则等待所有子进程的退出，其退出状态为0.

    2.如果是shell中等待使用wait，则不会等待调用函数中子任务。在函数中使用wait，则只等待函数中启动的后台子任务。

    3.在shell中使用wait命令，相当于高级语言里的多线程同步。
