+The `'close'` event is emitted after a process has ended _and_ the stdio
+streams of a child process have been closed. This is distinct from the
+[`'exit'`][] event, since multiple processes might share the same stdio
+streams. The `'close'` event will always emit after [`'exit'`][] was
+already emitted, or [`'error'`][] if the child failed to spawn.
