vovkill: Usage Message

DESCRIPTION:
    This utility is used to kill processes.

    It differs from kill because:
    - It kills a process and all of its children;
    - It can send a list of signals to try to kill a process.

USAGE: vovkill [options] <pid> ...
    Kill the given process and all of its children.
    The processes are first sent TERM, then HUP, then INT, then KILL.

OPTIONS:
    -exclude <pid>     -- Exclude pid from list of processes to kill.
    -gentle            -- Send only HUP.
    -n                 -- Show what you would do, but do not do it.
    -pid <pid>         -- Process to kill.
    -rx  <rx>          -- Kill processes that match the given rx.
    -signal <s>        -- Which signal you want to send.
    -v                 -- Increase verbosity.
