Description

The function process-wait-function returns the "wait function" of process which is a function that determines whether the Lisp process waits. LispWorks periodically calls wait-function to decide whether to wake the process up.

The process has a "wait function" when it is in the scope of a generic non-local wait function, for example process-wait. See 19.6 Process Waiting and communication between processes for details.
