    Test Identification XOPEN.cmd/ipcs 1030
    Problem Summary TSD4C.00207 This IR claims that the heading is allowed to appear before the facility name line.
    Problem Text

    This tests expects the order of the output headings to be the
    following:

    1) introductory line
    2) facility name
    3) Column heading

    While this is the order of the descriptions of these lines in
    the spec, the spec does not mandate this order. Our implementation
    reverses 2) and 3).

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    We believe the ipcs specifies the order of the output in the description.

    The first line is specified as:

    An introductory line is written with the format:

    "IPC status from %s as of %s\en", <source>, <date>

    The second line when the facility is unused is specified as:

    If the corresponding facility is not installed or has not been used
    since the last reboot, then the report is written out in the format:

    "%s facility not in system.\en", <facility>

    where <facility> is Message Queue, Shared Memory or Semaphore as
    appropriate.

    If the facility has been used, another line is generated, but the
    facility name output is generated differently.

    If the facility has been installed and has been used since the
    last reboot, column headings separated by one or more spaces
    and followed by a new line will be written as indicated below
    and the facility name is written out using the format:

    "%s:\en", <facility>

    The language used can be improved, but we believe this to be the intent
    of the specification. A future version of this standard should provide
    an example.

    Review Conclusion
    The Base Workging group agrees with the submittor of this waiver
    request and recommends a TSD.

    In the consultant's response, it states the "second line when the
    facility is unused is specified as" yet there are no such words
    as "second line" in the specification. Thus the test should
    not make this assumption about the ordering of the output from the
    ipcs command.
