CLI-Prompt

==========

While prompting for user input using `fgets()` is quite easy, sometimes you

need to prompt for sensitive information. In these cases, the characters typed

in by the user should not be directly visible, and this is quite a pain to

do in a cross-platform way.

This tiny package fixes just that for you:

```php

 Prompts the user for input and hides what they type. If this fails for any

  > reason and `$allowFallback` is set to `true` the prompt will be done using

  > the usual `fgets()` and characters will be visible.

- `Seld\CliPrompt\CliPrompt::prompt();`

  > Regular user prompt for input with characters being shown on screen.

In both cases, the trailing newline the user enters when submitting the answer

is trimmed.
