     NAME
	  GABI.os/ipc/ftok -  standard interprocess communication
	  package

     DESCRIPTION
	  Assertions for testing the ftok() subroutine call interface
	  for conformance to SVID 3.  Each test	must also verify the
	  same functionality for the synonym _ftok().

     ASSERTIONS
     Conformance
	  ALL TESTS IN THIS TEST SET APPLY TO SVR4.2 ONLY.

	  1    A call to ftok(path, id)	shall return a key usable in
	       msgget(), semget(), and shmget()	calls to obtain
	       interprocess identifiers.

	  2    When path1 is the pathname of an	existing file, and
	       path2 is	the pathname of	a link to path1, a call	to
	       ftok(path1, id) shall return the	same key as a call to
	       ftok(path2, id).

	  3    When path is the	pathname of an existing	file, and id1
	       and id2 are different, a	call to	ftok(path, id1)	shall
	       return a	key different to that returned from a call to
	       ftok(path, id2).

	  4    When path1 is the pathname of an	existing file, and
	       path2 is	the pathname of	a different existing file, a
	       call to ftok(path1, id) shall return a key different to
	       that returned from a call to ftok(path2,	id).
