That's a pretty good description:

morwong:~> man killall

DESCRIPTION

This command provides a convenient means of killing all processes created
by the shell that you control.  When started by the superuser, the killall
command kills all processes that can be terminated, except those processes
that started it, the kernel processes, and processes 0 and 1 (init).
