wait state One of two states, wait or nowait, that applies only to
datagram sockets. The wait entry instructs inetd to
execute only one datagram server for the specified
socket at any one time. This is a single-threaded

execute a datagram server for a specified socket
whenever a datagram arrives, which frees the socket so
that inetd can receive further datagrams. This is a
multi-threaded datagram server.
