Standards compliancy
Some of the commands maintained in this package have Open Group
requirements. These commands are;
cal
col
ipcrm
ipcs
kill
line
logger
mesg
more
newgrp
pg
renice
If you change these tools please make sure a change does not
conflict with the latest standard. For example it is
recommendable not to add short command line options before they
are part of standard. Introducing new long options is
acceptable.
