184+ As a Stream, ` process.stdin ` can also be used in "old" mode that is compatible
185+ with scripts written for node prior v0.10.
186+ For more information see
187+ [ Stream compatibility] ( stream.html#stream_compatibility_with_older_node_versions ) .
188+
189+ In "old" Streams mode the stdin stream is paused by default, so one
190+ must call ` process.stdin.resume() ` to read from it. Note also that calling
191+ ` process.stdin.resume() ` itself would switch stream to "old" mode.

193+ If you are starting a new project you should prefer a more recent "new" Streams
194+ mode over "old" one.
