caget -c

["J. Lewis Muir" <jlmuir@imca-cat.org>]

What is a scenario where the -c option to the EPICS Base caget
program is useful?

I've used the -c option (asynchronous put--use ca_put_callback
and wait for completion) of the caput program many times to wait
for a put to complete (e.g. a motor move to complete), but I
know caget has the same -c option and I don't know when I would
use it.  (I'd like to test its behavior, but I don't even know
of a record type or group of records that would let me do that.)

Thanks,

Lewis
