/**
* The `readline` module provides an interface for reading data from a `Readable` stream (such as `process.stdin`) one line at a time.
*
* To use the promise-based APIs:
*
* ```js
* import * as readline from 'node:readline/promises';
* ```
*
* To use the callback and sync APIs:
*
* ```js
* import * as readline from 'node:readline';
* ```
*
* The following simple example illustrates the basic use of the `readline` module.
*
* ```js
* import * as readline from 'node:readline/promises';
* import { stdin as input, stdout as output } from 'node:process';
*
* const rl = readline.createInterface({ input, output });
*
* const answer = await rl.question('What do you think of Node.js? ');
*
* console.log(`Thank you for your valuable feedback: ${answer}`);
*
* rl.close();
* ```
*
* Once this code is invoked, the Node.js application will not terminate until the`readline.Interface` is closed because the interface waits for data to be
* received on the `input` stream.
* @see [source](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v18.0.0/lib/readline.js)

*

* well as a `for await...of` loop:
*
* ```js
* const fs = require('fs');
* const readline = require('readline');
*
* async function processLineByLine() {
* const fileStream = fs.createReadStream('input.txt');
*
* const rl = readline.createInterface({
* input: fileStream,
* crlfDelay: Infinity
* });
* // Note: we use the crlfDelay option to recognize all instances of CR LF
* // ('\r\n') in input.txt as a single line break.
*
* for await (const line of rl) {
* // Each line in input.txt will be successively available here as `line`.
* console.log(`Line from file: ${line}`);
* }
* }
*
* processLineByLine();
* ```
*
* Alternatively, one could use the `'line'` event:
*
* ```js
* const fs = require('fs');
* const readline = require('readline');
*
* const rl = readline.createInterface({
* input: fs.createReadStream('sample.txt'),
* crlfDelay: Infinity
* });
*
* rl.on('line', (line) => {
* console.log(`Line from file: ${line}`);
* });
* ```
*
* Currently, `for await...of` loop can be a bit slower. If `async` / `await`flow and speed are both essential, a mixed approach can be applied:
