| ## getpass |
| |
| Get a password from the terminal. Sounds simple? Sounds like the `readline` |
| module should be able to do it? NOPE. |
| |
| ## Install and use it |
| |
| ```bash |
| npm install --save getpass |
| ``` |
| |
| ```javascript |
| const mod_getpass = require('getpass'); |
| ``` |
| |
| ## API |
| |
| ### `mod_getpass.getPass([options, ]callback)` |
| |
| Gets a password from the terminal. If available, this uses `/dev/tty` to avoid |
| interfering with any data being piped in or out of stdio. |
| |
| This function prints a prompt (by default `Password:`) and then accepts input |
| without echoing. |
| |
| Parameters: |
| |
| * `options`, an Object, with properties: |
| * `prompt`, an optional String |
| * `callback`, a `Func(error, password)`, with arguments: |
| * `error`, either `null` (no error) or an `Error` instance |
| * `password`, a String |
