Node.js Standard Input Helper

This package provides a minimal, callback-based utility for reading standard input in Node.js environments. Published in 2012 and last updated around that time (version 0.0.1), it addresses the common pain point of handling `stdin` streams in Node.js, which was less streamlined in older versions. It offers a single function that consumes the entire standard input as a string and provides it to a callback. Given its age and the significant evolution of Node.js with better-supported stream APIs (like `process.stdin` directly, `readline` module, or `async` iterators), this package is largely obsolete. Its release cadence was minimal, likely a one-off utility. At the time of its release, its key differentiator was its simplicity over raw stream handling. However, it lacks modern features like Promises, async/await, or TypeScript support.
