async_chat.set_terminator(term)

Sets the terminating condition to be recognized on the channel. term may be any of three types of value, corresponding to three different ways to handle incoming protocol data.

term	Description
string	Will call `found_terminator()` when the string is found in the input stream
integer	Will call `found_terminator()` when the indicated number of characters have been received
`None`	The channel continues to collect data forever

Note that any data following the terminator will be available for reading by the channel after found_terminator() is called.
