Re: The help command for VxWorks shell

Hi Di Wang,

On vxWorks you can also use the iocsh shell, and then you can run the same "help" commands that you run on other operating systems.

At the vxWorks prompt type:

iocsh

You will then be in the iocsh shell.

To return to the vxWorks shell type "exit".

You can also run iocsh in your st.cmd.

Subject: The help command for VxWorks shell

 

Hello all,

I always use `help pattern⋆` command on iocsh to list and search iocsh
commands, but this does not work on the VxWorks shell.

The `lkup` command provided by VxWorks will search all symbols and is
sometimes not very convenient. So I am wondering is there any similar
method on VxWorks shell to list and search all registered ioc commands?

Cheers,
Di Wang
