-Functions in this library depend on EPICS but are not
-real device drivers. It's a bunch of utilities.
-
-Functions are:
-
-require "<lib>" [,"<version>"]
+require "<lib>" [,"<version>"] [,"macro1=value, macro2=value"]
  shell function
  load a library and its dbd file
-
-updateMenuConvert
- startup script function
- add all loaded breakpoint tables found on this ioc to menu convert
- to be called before iocInit
- 
-addScan rate
- startup script function
- create a new scan rate (seconds) and add it to menuScan
- to be called before iocInit
-
-bootNotify
- startup script function
- call a script on the boot pc and tell it a lot of boot infos
- 
-dir / ls / ll / mkdir / rmdir / rm / mv / umask / chmod
- shell functions
- make disc functions available in iocsh
- not needed on vxWorks
-
-exec / !
- execute an externel command from iocsh
- shell function
- not available on vxWorks
- 
-listRecords filename fields
- shell function
- wrapper for dbl to get same syntax in 3.13 and 3.14
- 
+ executes its startup script if available, applying macros and environment
