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.
