Subject: how is envPaths built?

Hello,

I'd like to know how the envPaths file in the iocBoot Directory is built.

I tried to load the IOC's main dbd file by using the $(IOC) variable from envPaths, but noticed that it always will contain an "ioc" Prefix to the actual IOC name, while the dbd file is called just like the IOC name.

for example, if you create a new empty IOC by using "makeBaseApp.pl -t ioc test" and "makeBaseApp.pl -i -t ioc test":

you get a Makefile in $(TOP)/testApp/src/ that builds a test.dbd

while in iocBoot, envPaths with always have the $(IOC) variable set to "ioctest".

Just curious,
