Bug Description

There seems no way for the IOC console debugging tools to print the info items connected to a record instance.

A streamline way to add this functionality would be adding a new verbosity level "5" to the dbpr command, to make it print all info items in addition to all record fields.

info() tags are printed by dbDumpRecord(). Of course this function operates on recordtype, so it is difficult to debug just one record. dbpr() seems as good a place as any to print them.

It might also be good to refactor dbDumpRecord() to create a new dbDump* function which prints a single record.

Dirk's new "dbli" command now in 3.16 may help, although it can't limit its output to the info fields of a specific record since the pattern argument matches the info-item's name, not the record name.

Please close this bug if that is sufficient.
