Yep.  "ef" is SysV-ish and "aux" is bsd-ish.  That's the one thing that
bugs me about Linux; it isn't consistently one or the other.  It's
nearly entirely SysV -- except for when it's not, like ps (a command I
use all the time).  I have no idea where the author of ps got the tree
output idea for ps -ef!
