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. "
