\subsection wait-description Description
`wait` waits for child jobs to complete.
- If a pid is specified, the command waits for the job that the process with the pid belongs to.
- If a process name is specified, the command waits for the jobs that the matched processes belong to.
- If neither a pid nor a process name is specified, the command waits for all background jobs.
- If the `-n` / `--any` flag is provided, the command returns as soon as the first job completes. If it is not provided, it returns after all jobs complete.
