This indicates that your client side application has created multiple channels
for the same PV name.

This certainly indicates that there is room for optimization. Whether this is
necessary or not will depend on your situation - how many channels, how often
this gets used etc.

This is documented in the ADG. 

The entries all take this form.

pvName(nnnn{r,-}{w,-})

Where the nnnn indicates the number of monitor subscriptions attached to the
channel. The {r,-} indicates whether there is or isn't read access. The {w,-}
indicates whether there is or isn't write access. Sorry about the cryptic code,
but compactness seemed to be appropriate when printing a list of channels (which
could be long).

Title: multiple identical names from casr 2

Hi,

When looking at the channel access client information on IOCs running
EPICS R3.13.4 we usually see the same name listed multiple times.  Here
is an example.

Client Name="bartlett", Client Host="d0ol20.fnal.gov", V4.8, Channel Count=6
         TId=0X171E54, Protocol=TCP, Socket FD=11
         Secs since last send   1.63, Secs since last receive   1.63
         Unprocessed request bytes=0, Undelivered response bytes=0
         Client's DNS Host Name d0ol20:55513 State=up
         33358 bytes allocated
         MUO_PROC_23/FD(0r-)     MUO_PROC_23/FD(0rw)
MUO_PROC_23/MEM(0r-)
         MUO_PROC_23/MEM(0rw)    MUO_PROC_23/CPU(0r-)
MUO_PROC_23/CPU(0rw)

Does this indicate a problem with our channel access client?  What is
the key for the code following the record names?

Thanks

Geoff
