findrecord

Sometimes, you may only remember a part of a record name. To find the whole name you can use the findrecord script. The command searches an Oracle database that is updated during every IOC reboot. Therefore, you can only find actual names.

The command can be used in any directory and should be independend of the EPICS environment you are in. General the syntax of the command is
findrecord [options] [pattern]
Where pattern is the part of the record name you still remember. You can use wildcards as well: % stands for an abitrary number of characters, _ stands exactly for one character.

Serveral options are possible. To get more documentation use the command with the -h option: findrecord -h


Example:
findrecord MTRT1
