Feature request: exit stream successfully after receiving N responses

[jtylka]

hi, I'm trying to use gRPCurl in some automated API test suite, and I'm not sure what the best way to test response-streaming RPC methods. I would like to call the method, make sure the stream starts, and then gracefully cancel the stream with a success code (assuming everything actually works until that point).

so far, what I've found is the flag -max-time, which limits how long gRPCurl is subscribed to the stream, but then it closes with an ERROR:

  Code: DeadlineExceeded
  Message: Deadline Exceeded

would it be possible to add an option like -max-response N, which only applies to response-streaming RPCs, and then cancels the stream gracefully once the desired number of responses has been received by gRPCurl?

thanks!
