If an IOC has a lot of aliases the output from dbla doesn't help you find all the pseudonyms of a specific record unless you do some post-processing of its output. I can see the need for the reverse search, but I think I'd like to see that provided as a new command since it's conceptually slightly different. I looked up 'alias' in a thesaurus and the term nicknames seems the most promising — how about dblnn: epics> help dbla dbla pattern epics> dbla ao -> anj:ao ao1 -> anj:ao ai -> anj:ai ai1 -> anj:ai epics> help dblnn dblnn pattern epics> dblnn anj:a* anj:ao <- ao ao1 anj:ai <- ai ai1 How different is that to your current arguments and output format? Can you show us an example?
The change in the code is quite small: instead of testing only the alias name against the pattern test the record name was well.
Original dbla and my version show the same output without argument epics> dbla ai -> anj:ai ai1 -> anj:ai ao -> anj:ao ao1 -> anj:ao Original dbla and my version show the same output with alias pattern epics> dbla *1 ai1 -> anj:ai ao1 -> anj:ao My version shows more output with record pattern epics> dbla anj:a* ai -> anj:ai ai1 -> anj:ai ao -> anj:ao ao1 -> anj:ao epics> dbla anj:ai ai -> anj:ai ai1 -> anj:ai
