$ killall --list
try on your machine
The command "killall --list" is used to display the list of all available processes that can be terminated using the "kill" command.
When executed, it shows a list of process names or process IDs (PID) along with their corresponding signal numbers. Each process in the list represents a running program or service on the system.
The "kill" command is used to send a signal to a process. By using the process name or PID, along with the appropriate signal number, the "kill" command can be used to terminate, interrupt, or control various processes on the system.
By using "killall --list", you can see which processes are currently running and the respective signal numbers that can be used with the "kill" command to interact with them.
