+//! Tiny library for prompting sensitive or non-sensitive data on the terminal.
+//!
+//! The only dependency is `libc` on Unix and `winapi` on Windows.
+//!
+//! See [`Terminal`] for the API documentation.
+//!
+//! # Example
+//! Read a username and password from the terminal:
+//! ```no_run
+//! # fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
+//! use terminal_prompt::Terminal;
+//! let mut terminal = Terminal::open()?;
+//! let username = terminal.prompt("Username: ")?;
+//! let password = terminal.prompt_sensitive("Password: ")?;
+//! # Ok(())
+//! # }
+//! ```

+/// A handle to the terminal associated with the current process.
+///
+/// Once opened, you can use [`Self::prompt()`] to read non-sensitive data from the terminal,
+/// and [`Self::prompt_sensitive()`] to read sensitive data like passwords.
+///
+/// Alternatively, you can manually call [`Self::enable_echo()`] and [`Self::disable_echo()`], and read/write from the terminal directly.
+/// The terminal handle implements the standard [`Read`], [`Write`] and [`BufRead`] traits,
+/// and it has a [`Self::read_line()`] convenience function that returns a new string.
+///
+/// # Terminal modes
+/// When opened, the terminal will be put in line editing mode.
+/// When dropped, the original mode of the terminal will be restored.
+/// Note that the terminal is inherently a global resource,
+/// so creating multiple terminal objects and dropping them in a different order can cause the terminal to be left in a different mode.
