From pkg-comment:
A port of the Linux pstree, killall and pidof commands
It seems wrong to ask the Linux people to make the Linux "killall" man
page to not mention "Linux" (or "non-Linux" in this case). I suppose
it makes some sense, so others will disagree, but if you're going to ask
them to change, please be extraordinarily polite.
I've CC'd the port maintainer. Let's see what he has to say about it.
