SYNOPSYS

       #include "mut.h"
       void mbksetautoackchld( pid )
       int pid;

PARAMETER

       pid		   Process pid to automatically handle.

DESCRIPTION

       mbksetautoackchld provide a centralised way to catch terminated child process. Because some Alliance library can create	a  child  process,
       and user application can do so, there must be a centralized way to get the exit status of process. If the programmer don't want to know the
       state of a child process, or if he don't want to know what is the terminaison code of such process, he must tells it to Alliance with  this
       call. The programmer should never modify the handler of SIGCHLD.

RETURN VALUE

       mbksetautoackchld don't return value.
