Step 1: find the correct source code.

Reading code has its place and tracing code has its place. I have difficulty understanding nontrivial codebases without some amount of tracing. In this case you chose to present the source for a FreeBSD/OS X version of killall when OP is running Linux.

On my Linux system it's provided by psmisc:

Finding the right source for killall for whatever platform you want is trivial.
