Author: fernape (ports committer) Date: Sat Jun 27 11:28:11 2020 New Revision: 362678 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/362678 Log: killall(1): Clarify -d, -s and -v options -d and -v are not equivalent options. The former is more verbose than the latter and the former does not actually send the signals while the latter does. Let them have their own paragraphs. From the point of view of the output, -v is equivalent to -s, so describe them close to each other. The difference is that former actually sends the signals and the latter doesn't.
