+cindex(jobs, asynchronous, and exiting shell)
+Certain jobs are run asynchronously by the shell other than those
+explicitly put into the background; even in cases where the shell
+would usually wait for such jobs, an explicit tt(exit) command
+or exit due to the option tt(ERR_EXIT) will cause the shell to
+exit without waiting. Examples of such asynchronous jobs are
+process substitution, see
+ifzman(the section PROCESS SUBSTITUTION in the zmanref(zshexpn) manual page)\
+ifnzman(noderef(Process Substitution)), and the handler processes for
+multios, see
