CONFORMING TO

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