How do I get console input in spidermonkey JavaScript?

Question

I'm currently using spidermonkey to run my JavaScript code. I'm wondering if there's a function to get input from the console similar to how Python does this:

var = raw_input()  

Or in C++:

std::cin >> var;

I've looked around and all I've found so far is how to get input from the browser using the prompt() and confirm() functions.

Good old readline();.
