wildcard specifications. Earlier the only wildcard syntax
was "-j 0" for "any jail". There were at least
two shortcomings in it: First, jail ID 0 was abused; it
meant "no jail" in other utils, e.g., ps(1). Second, it
was impossible to match processed not in jail, which could
be useful to rc.d developers. Therefore a new syntax is
introduced: "-j any" means any jail while "-j none" means
out of jail. The old syntax is preserved for compatibility,
but now it's deprecated because it's limited and confusing.
Update the respective regression tests. While I'm here,
make the tests more complex but sensitive: Start several
processes, some in jail and some out of jail, so we can
detect that only the right processes are killed by pkill
or matched by pgrep.

% pgrep <something> [to verify which processes match]
% pkill <something>
To speed such operation up, add -I option which works like rm(1)'s -i
option (unfortunately -i is already used in pkill(1)), ie. pkill will
ask for confirmation before killing each matching process.
After adding -j, -F, -i, -S, -o and -L options and other improvements,
I think I can add myself to the copyright header.

This option can be also found in Solaris and Linux.
- Use timercmp(9) macro for timeval comparsion.
- Include time.h directly, don't depend on stat.h doing it for us.

- Rename IS_KERNPROC() macro to PSKIP() and extend its functionality.
Now it'll skip calling process and system processes when -S is not given.
As a side effect it fixes '-n' option. Before it was always matching
calling process (because of missing 'if (kp->ki_pid == mypid)' check)
and after that, calling process was ignored.
- When '-l' option is given and there are no arguments, use p_comm as an
arguments list (this is helpful for kernel threads matching).

-M Extract values associated with the name list from the

-N Extract the name list from the specified system instead
of the default /kernel.

These will probably require a few updates before they are added to
the FreeBSD buildworld. I might MFC these to 4.x-stable after 4.10.
