+    Args:
+        pvs: A list of PV names, or a dict where the values are PV names.
+        notify_disconnect: When False (default) omits notifications if some PVs are disconnected
+
+    When the pvs argument is a list, then get() and friends will return a list of values in the same order.
+    When pvs is a dict, then get() and friends will return a dict preserving the keys.
+
+    As a convenience, a PVCache may be (asynchronously) iterated to yield new values.  eg. in list mode. ::

+
+    A cache may be polled for the current values with get() and get_nowait().
