| NAME
| readcons – prompt console for input
SYNOPSIS
| `readcons` [ `−d` default ] [ `−s` ] prompt
DESCRIPTION
| Readcons prompts at the console for input, copying the typed string to standard output. If the `−s` flag is given, the input is not displayed (secret). If the user types an empty string (just a newline) and the `−d` option is given, then default is printed instead of an empty string.
