I assume that your intent is to build a db file (i.e. use dbLoadTemplate).

In that case, they are specific shell tricks (i.e. how template and substitution files are built)
and iocsh/iocinit tricks (i.e. how the files are used to populate the EPICS database).

If you need to do what MSI does, but need more than just plain text replacement, you might want to have a look at pymsi [1].
