I think this article is great for learning about strace but it's not a good advice on learning about open source software.

Why not to look into the source?

I used strace for different scenarios and always it saved the day. But this would not be my play for learning about killall.

Strace gives you a quick, higher level view of what is actually happening, which is sometimes much more useful than slogging through the source code of something.
