$ help jobs
jobs: jobs [-lnprs] [jobspec ...] or jobs -x command [args]
    Display status of jobs.
   
    Lists the active jobs.  JOBSPEC restricts output to that job.
    Without options, the status of all active jobs is displayed.
   
    Options:
      -l   lists process IDs in addition to the normal information
      -n   lists only processes that have changed status since the last
       notification
      -p   lists process IDs only
      -r   restrict output to running jobs
      -s   restrict output to stopped jobs
   
    If -x is supplied, COMMAND is run after all job specifications that
    appear in ARGS have been replaced with the process ID of that job's
    process group leader.
   
    Exit Status:
    Returns success unless an invalid option is given or an error occurs.
    If -x is used, returns the exit status of COMMAND.
