(SOLVED) need help adding debounce to probe

I am trying to learn to probe using my DIY rotary axis. My machine runs g code great but when I probe, I must run the machine painfully slow or I will get false probe triggers. I think this is due to vibrations in my machine and bouncing of the probe with movement. I understand that I can add "debounce" to the HAL file to require the probe signal stay tripped for a given length of time but I can't figure out how. I am very new to Linux and don't understand what the different HAL instructions do. Below is my HAL file, any help will be greatly appreciated but please try and keep it very simple.
Thank you
Joe

Thank you Andy Pugh for your reply! I had already gotten help from an old post on another forum but was waiting to make sure the problem was resolved before adding here. I was having problems because I setup the probe using stepconf wizard and kept getting an error because I had 2 sets of instructions for the same pin. I'm attaching my custom.hal file so maybe it'll help others.

#add this to custom.hal for probe debouncing
#change delay and pin number to fit your needs
loadrt debounce cfg=1
setp debounce.0.delay 300
addf debounce.0 base-thread
net debounce-probe-in debounce.0.0.in <= parport.0.pin-12-in
net probe-in debounce.0.0.out => motion.probe-input
#end of probe debouncing

#remove the following 2 lines from (your machine).hal or run stepconf wizard and remove probe from inputs
#net probe-in => motion.probe-input
#net probe-in <= parport.0.pin-12-in

Thank you andypough, that explains what "unlinkp" does. I spent hours searching/reading the forum for debounce and probe and was mostly left more confused than before. After you replied to this post, I searched your user name and found several posts you had written that explained it where even a simple minded person like myself could easily understand. I wish I had found them sooner! It would be good if you would consider doing a separate tutorial on HAL editing and probing.

Thank you again for your help,
Joe

Thanks for the solution.I've now got gridprobe running using a cheap switch . I'm hoping to get Z level compensation running to mill and cut Depron on the glass.
