You are right, the two combined have the desired effect. But this is
not at all obvious to a user. The manpage says:
-f The pattern is normally only matched against the process
name. When -f is set, the full command line is used.
-l List the process name as well as the process ID. (pgrep only.)
There is no hint that -f, which extends matching to the full command
line, also causes -l to behave differently.
In fact, this might not be what I want. What if I wanted to print
all process names whose command line had "foo" in them? pgrep -fl
foo would list the full command lines, not just the process name.
I would prefer if -fl did what the manpage suggests, and that -L be
introduced to print the full command line instead of just the
process name.
