Basically, it kills, nukes, deletes, annihilates, removes, does away with, blows away, nixes, makes go away, banishes, vaporizes, converts to dust, facilitates the ceasing to exist, leaves only memories of, makes go bye bye, everything in the /pub directory, and subdirectories, after the command is issued, without prejudice.
Very convenient and useful indeed, but not to be used lightly, as there is no way of recovery.

bin laden - pid 2859
kill 2859
However, the kill command is only a request for process id 2859 to kill itself. If uncooperative, the nifty -9 option can be invoked, whereby pid 2859 (bin laden) will be immediately killed by issuing:
kill -9 2859
At this time, process 2859 (bin laden) takes the infinite dirt nap.
