SYNOPSIS

pik [options] [pattern]

DESCRIPTION

pik (Process Interactive Kill) is a terminal tool for interactively finding and killing processes. It works like pkill but with a live, interactive search interface where you type to filter processes and select which to kill. It supports prefix search for arguments and ports, configurable readline-style key mappings, and cross-platform operation.

HISTORY

pik was created by Jacek Kurlit (jacek-kurlit) and is written in Rust.
