    Problem Text
    Tests 1: This test calls wait3() with option set to WEXITED.
    This option is not listed as a valid option on the XOPEN wait3()
    page nor the waitpid(wait) man page to which the reader is referred.
    Therefore, we return EINVAL, which according to the man pages would
    be correct.
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: exit

    TEST PURPOSE #1
    When the parent process of the calling process is
    executing wait(), waitpid(), wait3() or waitid() and
    has not set its SA_NOCLDWAIT flag nor set SIGCHLD to
    SIG_IGN a call to void exit(int status) shall notify
    it of the termination of the calling process and make
    the low-order eight bits of status available to it.
    PREP: Set SIGCHLD to SIG_DFL and clear SA_NOCLDWAIT
    PREP: Fork child
    TEST: wait notified of termination
    TEST: Lower 8-bits of status available
    PREP: Fork child
    PREP: Call exit
    TEST: wait3 notified of termination
    ERROR: wait3 failed, errno = 22(EINVAL - Invalid argument)
    1 UNRESOLVED
