🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so killall deletes the specified objects from the current database and removes all references to them from all combinations in the database. the objects are killed immediately unless the -n flag is passed. lowkey important: -n makes the command return a string of the objects that would be killed in a scriptable list format, without actually killing them. it’s giving “preview mode but scriptable” ✨.
