/**
 * The `node:readline` module provides an interface for reading data from a [Readable](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v20.x/api/stream.html#readable-streams) stream
 * (such as [`process.stdin`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v20.x/api/process.html#processstdin)) 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 `node: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/v20.12.2/lib/readline.js)

     *
     * ## Example: Read file stream line-by-Line
     *
     * A common use case for `readline` is to consume an input file one line at a
     * time. The easiest way to do so is leveraging the `fs.ReadStream` API as
     * well as a `for await...of` loop:
     *
     * ```js
     * const fs = require('node:fs');
     * const readline = require('node: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('node:fs');
     * const readline = require('node: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:
     *
     * ```js
     * const { once } = require('node:events');
     * const { createReadStream } = require('node:fs');
     * const { createInterface } = require('node:readline');
     *
     * (async function processLineByLine() {
     *   try {
     *     const rl = createInterface({
     *       input: createReadStream('big-file.txt'),
     *       crlfDelay: Infinity,
     *     });
     *
     *     rl.on('line', (line) => {
     *       // Process the line.
     *     });
     *
     *     await once(rl, 'close');
     *
     *     console.log('File processed.');
     *   } catch (err) {
     *     console.error(err);
     *   }
     * })();
     * ```
