Re: Create record name manifest during build

["Johnson, Andrew N. via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

You could also create a separate IOC-like application that has its own iocInit()​ function that being local would prevent the normal one from being built in, and would do the dbl​ operation for you.

There would still be a problem with running any device configuration commands that are also called before iocInit though; many of them will try to make connections to the hardware.

We are talking build-time here, so you are supposed to have a shell available. If you want a bit more elegance, you can omit the echo and redirect stdin to the script

softIoc < st-dbl-only.cmd

Using input redirection will quit the IOC because stdin is closed when it reaches end of file. You don't even need the exit command at the end.
