		--verbose, -v                Show process arguments
		--silent, -s                 Silently kill and always exit with code 0
		--force-timeout <N>, -t <N>  Force kill processes which didn't exit after N seconds
		--smart-case                 Case-insensitive unless pattern contains uppercase

		$ fkill

	To kill a port, prefix it with a colon. For example: :8080.

	Run without arguments to use the interactive interface.
	In interactive mode, 🚦n% indicates high CPU usage and 🐏n% indicates high memory usage.
	Supports fuzzy search in the interactive mode.

	The process name is case-insensitive by default.
