Hi Eric,

Thanks for the information.  It seems like renaming "thread" to
epicsThreadShow would be more consistent.

More importantly, the "-level" argument does not seem to provide any
additional information, at least on Linux or vxWorks.  It would be very
helpful if higher levels could print additional information like stack
usage, etc.

On vxWorks the following command:

thread -5 taskwd

does not restrict its output to the taskwd thread.  In fact it just
prints out the entire thread list twice.

Mark

Subject: Re: Missing iocsh command?

It looks like somewhere along the line this got changed to 'thread' --
see src/libCom/iocsh/libComRegister.c around line 204.
There's also 'epicsThreadShowAll' which isn't in the app dev guide iocsh
command descriptions at all.

I think that changing the documentation is probably the right thing to
do ('show' should become 'thread' and 'epicsThreadShowAll' should be
added).

Alternatively, should 'show' become 'epicsThreadShow' in the
documentation and 'thread' become epicsThreadShow in the code?

describes the built-in iocsh commands.  It lists a "show" command.  But
in my soft IOCs this command is not present.  Am I missing something in
my build, or is the documentation wrong?
