What is the use of bp.kill_all?

I have below information from google.

Starting and Stopping Netbackup
Stopping Netbackup
• /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/K77netbackup --> graceful shutdown 
• /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps -a --> check for any remaining processes 
• /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/bp.kill_all ---> kills all remaining netbackup processes, not necessarily graceful 
• /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps -a --> check for any remaining processes 
• kill -9 for any remaining. NOTE: unkillable processes may require a reboot 
Starting Netbackup
• /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/S77netbackup --> after bp.kill_all, to restart
