    Problem Text
    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 neither 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
    PREP: Call _exit
    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
