-# The epics-containers IOC startup script.
-#
-# This script is used to start an EPICS IOC in a Kubernetes pod. Implementers
-# of generic IOCs are free to replace this script with their own. But
-# this script as is should work for most IOCs.
-#
-# When a generic IOC runs in a kubernetes pod it is expected to have
-# a config folder that defines the IOC instance.
-# The helm chart for the generic IOC will mount the config folder
-# as a configMap and this turns a generic IOC into aspecific IOC instance.
-#
-# Here we support the following set of options for the contents of
-# the config folder:
-#
-# 1. start.sh ******************************************************************
-#    If the config folder contains a start.sh script it will be executed.
-#    This allows the instance implementer to provide a conmpletely custom
-#    startup script.
-#
-# 2. ioc.yaml *************************************************************
-#    If the config folder contains an ioc.yaml file we invoke the ibek tool to
-#    generate the startup script and database. Then launch with the generated
-#    startup script.
-#
-# 3. st.cmd + ioc.subst *********************************************************
-#    If the config folder contains a st.cmd script and a ioc.subst file then
-#    optionally generate ioc.db from the ioc.subst file and use the st.cmd script
-#    as the IOC startup script. Note that the expanded database file will
-#    be generated in /tmp/ioc.db
-#
-# 4. empty config folder *******************************************************
-#    If the config folder is empty then this IOC will launch the example in
-#    ./example folder
-#
-# RTEMS IOCS - RTEMS IOC startup files can be generated using 2,3,4 above. For
-# RTEMS we do not execute the ioc inside of the pod. Instead we:
-#  - copy the IOC directory to the RTEMS mount point
-#  - send a reboot command to the RTEMS crate
-#  - start a telnet session to the RTEMS IOC console
-#
