=head1 NAME

killall - Kill all instances of a process by pattern matching the command-line

=head1 SYNOPSIS

	use Proc::Killall;

	killall('HUP', 'xterm'); # SIGHUP all xterms
	killall('KILL', '^netscape$'); # SIGKILL to "netscape"

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides one function, C<killall()>, which takes two parameters:
a signal name or number (see C<kill()>) and a process pattern. This pattern
is matched against the process' command-line as the C<ps> command would
show it (C<ps> is not used internally, instead a package called
C<Proc::ProcessTable> is used).

C<killall> searches the process table and sends that signal to all processes
which match the pattern. The return value is the number of processes that
were successfully signaled. If any kills failed, the C<$!> variable
will be set based on that last one that failed (even if a successful kill
happened afterward).
