Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
I may improve it a little bit further: ... the INP or OUT link must be of either type pv_link or type constant link (CONSTANT). PV_LINK (its value is 1) is converted to either DB_LINK (10) or CA_LINK (11) during iocInit. CONSTANT (0) is the default for INP/OUT: if you don't put the INP/OUT field in your record such as record(ai, "myRecord"){}, the INP/OUT is constant link. Wow, links are powerful, but are complicated as well.
Cheers,
Yong

Yes. You could improve this definition by stating that the INP or OUT link must be of type pv_link (in teh sense of link.h in base), which includes any potential future "soft" support type.
