CONFORMING TO
       The Linux ipcs utility is not fully compatible to the POSIX ipcs  util-
       ity.   The  Linux  version  does  not  support  the POSIX -a, -b and -o
       options, but does support the -l and -u options not defined  by  POSIX.
       A  portable  application  shall  not  use  the  -a,  -b, -o, -l, and -u
       options.
