It is aready. Only asynchronous mode setup is missing. What does it mean for asynchronous mode setup to be missing? Anyway, if it is already asyncronous, why propose commands to see more of the output, search thru the next batch of the output, etc.? What is the avance of limiting the amount of data shown if all that does is turn off asynchronous filling of the rest of the buffer? By the way, the doc strings do not say that these commands are asynchronous.
