.SH PARAMETER

\fIpid\fP
Process pid to automatically handle.
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBmbksetautoackchld\fP 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.
.SH RETURN VALUE
\fBmbksetautoackchld\fP don't return value.
