Hi all! According to the killall(1) manual page the "-c progname" option "when used with the -u ant -t flags, limits potentially matching processes to those matching the specified progname". According to the source of killall(1) the -c option doesn't have anything common with the -u and -t options. Also killall(1) always checked procnames passed in the command line and the -c option is useful only with the -m flag, in this case it (the -c option) limits potentially mathing processes to those matching the specified POSIX regular expression. But in this case the -c option used with the -m flag also duplicates given in the command line procnames. So, here is my question. What is the sense and purpose of the -c option?
