pkill: better document ancestor-hiding

2025-07-21T02:12:28Z

More prominently note that we'll hide ancestors in the first two paragraphs that provide an overview of pkill/pgrep. It also seems worth noting in the description of -a that we won't ever unhide the pgrep/pkill command itself, as mypid is skipped in all process iteration by way of PSKIP().
