It seems the current AppDevGuide doesn't document the routines

devReadProbe, devNoResponseProbe, and devWriteProbe (chapter 20.18

Device Support Library). Furthermore, the documentation for the devLib

routines does not say anything about what the return values of the

several routines mean.

Since I'm not responsible for maintaining devLib I didn't want to spend

much time on this, but I have added most of the current devLib.h

routines to the final R3.14.9 AppDevGuide with some rudimentary text

where appropriate.

If the return value is a long and the meaning is not described, most

EPICS routines will give back a status value of some kind, where 0 means

Ok and anything else is an error. I have no idea where this should be

documented, especially since none of the errSymLib.c routines are

covered anywhere...
