$ pkill [--count] [--ignore-case] [--echo] [--newest] [--signal signame] [--uid uid-list] [--exact] <process-name>
$ pkill [--count] [--ignore-case] [--echo] [--newest] [--oldest] [--signal signame] [--uid uid-list] [--exact] <process-name>
```

* `-i`, `--ignore-case`: Make matches case-insensitive
* `-e`, `--echo`: Display what is killed
* `-n`, `--newest`: Kill the most recently created process only
* `-o`, `--oldest`: Select the least recently created process only
* `-s signame`, `--signal signame`: Signal to send. The signal name or number may be used
* `-U uid-list`, `--uid uid-list`: Select only processes whose UID is in the given comma-separated list. Login name or numerical user ID may be used
* `-x`, `--exact`: Select only processes whose names match the given pattern exactly
