hdwbckbld
Description
hdwbckbld is used to create a hardware definition file that reflects the current
hardware configuration details in the server database. It is used, for example,
when you have made changes to hardware and hardware connections via Station,
rather than via Quick Builder or hdwbld.
After creating a hardware definition file, you can upload it into a Quick Builder
project. For details, see the Quick Builder help.
