README file for dev/symb directory ---------------------------------- This directory contains all files necessary to build and test a version of EPICS vxWorks global variable device support which uses the INST_IO string as the variable name specification rather than deriving the name from the record name. In addition to specifying a variable name, a leading "*" operator indicates that the variable is a pointer and a trailing "[nnnn]" indicates that an element of an array should be accessed. Refer to the header comments of devSymbFind.c for full details.
