Euresys GenApi scripts
The Euresys GenApi Script language is documented in a few GenApi scripts. For convenience, they are also included
here.

// Euresys GenApi Script uses a syntax inspired by JavaScript, but is not
// exactly JavaScript. Using the extension .js for scripts is just a way to get
// proper syntax highlighting in text editors.
//
// This file describes the basics of Euresys GenApi Script. It can be executed
// by running 'gentl script <path-to-coaxlink-scripts-dir>/doc/basics.js', or
// more simply 'gentl script coaxlink://doc/basics.js'.
// Euresys GenApi Script is case-sensitive.
// Statements are always separated by semicolons (JavaScript is more
// permissive).
// Single-line comment
/* Multi-line comment
(cannot be nested)
