  Yes you do:  open browser, google "posix opengroup".  Vol.2, "Shell and
utilities", part 4: Utilities: takes us to

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/ps.html

which is pretty lax about requirements:

" he args format specifier is allowed to produce a truncated version of the
command arguments. In some implementations, this information is no longer
available when the ps utility is executed. "

" The normative text is reworded to avoid use of the term "must" for
application requirements. "


    cheers,
