Hello Tech-Talk,

Is it possible to process Linux system file values as PV records ? For example, we are looking to add MAC address and IP address of the IOC server as PVs.

 

A simple way to access the IOC server MAC address is  “$ cat /sys/class/net/eth0/address”  and “$ hostname -I” to access the IP address.

 

Is there a driver for accessing Linux system values ? Any examples for its usage ?

 

Thank you,
SK
