From 3f5623dd462398d7af0814eadf5f8f43a610330e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Evan Lucas Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2016 20:31:23 -0500 Subject: readline: allow passing prompt to constructor Previously, one would have to call setPrompt after calling rl.createInterface. Now, the prompt string can be set by passing the prompt property.
