Phoebus Alarm Server - Alarm acknowledgement from EPICS record

[Ian Gillingham via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

I'm trying to find out if there's a way to send commands to the Phoebus 
Alarm Server from within EPICS. I have a situation where an alarm should 
be able to be acknowledged from an EPICS IOC.

Is there an API that could be tapped into to provide similar behaviour, 
as if a user was using the Phoebus Alarm Tree features, but performed 
from within EPICS records?

I've scoured as much as I can from searches and Phoebus documentation, 
but haven't found anything.

Thanks in advance,
