Research direction

The issue names os.waitid and os.WNOHANG but does not identify a documentation file, test, or specific wording to change. Locate the existing Python library documentation for these APIs, determine what information is missing, and confirm the expected scope with the maintainers before editing; done means the requested behavior is clearly documented.
