  99        %string
 100                    Refers to a job whose name begins with string
 101 
 102 
 103        %?string
 104                    Refers to a job whose name contains string

 109                    Refers to the current job

 113                    Refers to the previous job

 115 
 116 
 117        If one ore more job operands is a process id or process group id not
 118        known by the current shell environment, wait treats each of them as if
 119        it were a process that exited with status 127.
 120 
 121 OPERANDS
 122        The following operands are supported:
 123 
 124        pid
 125                 The unsigned decimal integer process ID of a command, for
 126                 which the utility is to wait for the termination.
 127 
 128 
 129        jobid
 130                 A job control job ID that identifies a background process
 131                 group to be waited for. The job control job ID notation is
 132                 applicable only for invocations of wait in the current shell
 133                 execution environment, and only on systems supporting the job
 134                 control option.
