pciread output can't be redirected in epics shell

When I try to do:
epics> pciread 32 0x0 32 > /tmp/file

There is nothing in the file, and output is still displayed at ioc shell.

Redirection would be a useful feature for doing bigger register dumps

Looks like #include "epicsStdioRedirect.h" is missing.

Should be corrected with 1713cce. Most of the changes are the ensure that error messages are not redirected by stdout.

Looks like #include "epicsStdioRedirect.h" is missing.

/* epicsStdioRedirect.h */

/* This file is now obselete, and is likely to be
 * deleted in a future release of EPICS Base.
 *
 * Use the epicsStdio.h header file instead.
 */

I tested it and it works with 5d28689.
That was fast!

Depending on your EPICS base version you may still need epicsStdioRedirect. Test with R3.14.12 please.

Answer 5 · 2020-08-31T08:40:20.000Z

Redirection does not work with 3.14.12.

Answer 6 · 2020-08-31T11:22:47.000Z

A change like this could solve the problem with redirection in 3.14.12 and with epicsStdioRedirect.h being obsolete in 3.15+

+#include <epicsVersion.h>
+#ifndef EPICS_VERSION_INT
+#include <epicsStdioRedirect.h>
+#endif

Hi, is it still valid? Or can I close it?

I am not working on this anymore. Looks OK to close for me.
