 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.
