     * of the process name we pass.  
     * First Argument: The BSD process name of the process we want to lookup.  In this case the
     *      the process name passed to us.
     * Second Argument: A preallocated array of pid_t.  This is where the PIDs of matching processes
     *      will be placed on return.  This case our array we already made.
     * Third Argument: The number of pid_t entries located in the array of pid_t (argument 2).  Thus
     *      this is the size of the array in number of PIDs in the array.  Size here is the size of
     *      the array we already allocated (kPIDArrayLength).
     * Forth Argument: On calling this is a pointer to a pre-allocated unsigned integer.  On return
     *      this will hold the number of PIDs placed into the pid_t array (array passed in argument 2).
     * Fifth Argument: A pointer to a pre-allocated integer.  On return this will be the sysctl error returned.
     *      Note here we can also pass NULL in which case this argument will be ignored (as we do here).
     * Return Value: An error indicating success (zero result) or failure (non-zero) result.
     *      Also, if return value is -1 then the requested process doesn't exist (not found).
     *      If the return value is -5 then the buffer we passed wasn't big enough.  (see function description for
     *      for details).
