Good to know, thanks.

If I read a job's stdout with an "out_cb" handler, and the output has multiple
lines, what's the right way to know that the job has finished and no more
output is coming?
In NL mode I suppose I could keep accumulating the output via the handler, one
line at a time, stopping when the message is "DETACH".
In RAW mode I get all the output at once – is that the recommended way for my
situation?
Initially I tried to start a job without any handlers because I read this in
the documentation:
Without the handler you need to read the output with ch_read() or
ch_readraw().
Where would such a call go if it's not in a callback?
When I start two jobs with similar commands I only seem to get the output for
the second. Here's a demo:
$ cat demo.vim
call ch_logfile('channellog', 'w')
function! OutHandler(channel, msg)
echom 'OutHandler'
echom ' '.a:channel
echom ' '.a:msg
endfunction
let job = job_start('ls', {'mode': 'raw', 'out_cb': 'OutHandler'})
let job = job_start('ls -l', {'mode': 'raw', 'out_cb': 'OutHandler'})
$ vim -u NONE -N -S demo.vim
$ cat channellog

You can see the OutHandler callback is not invoked on channel 0.
However if the second job's command is, say, 'cal' instead of 'ls -l', the
callback is invoked for both jobs as expected.
I also noticed that the job's command in sensitive to whitespace. A job
command of ' ls' instead of 'ls' produces no output:
$ cat channellog

0.001721 on 0: Invoking channel callback OutHandler

I would expect leading / trailing whitespace not to affect anything.
