Summary: A cross-platform, cross-console way to handle echoing terminal input
Description:
The @base@ library exposes the @hGetEcho@ and @hSetEcho@ functions for
querying and setting echo status, but unfortunately, neither function works
with MinTTY consoles on Windows. This is a serious issue, since @hGetEcho@
and @hSetEcho@ are often used to disable input echoing when a program
prompts for a password, so many programs will reveal your password as you
type it on MinTTY!
This library provides an alternative interface which works with both MinTTY
and other consoles. An example is included which demonstrates how one might
prompt for a password using this library. To build it, make sure to
configure with the @-fexample@ flag.
