externalLinks

This command is used for a substitution file. All record names which are used in links, but not defined in this file are listed. This is very helpful to find typos in record names.

Additionaly, the syntax of the whole substitution/template construct is tested. If externalLinks fails, the IOC will fail during reboot as well. This helps to find missing backets and quotes, and wrong field names.

The command has to be used in the directory where the substitution and template files are available. For the EPICS Training this would be the directory ~/G/TRAINING/T1 for the first Training IOC.

Example:
externalLinks MTEST-VME-T1_example.subs
