To use the console in interactive mode run the following command in a terminal.
python3 console.py
The prompt (hbnb) will be displayed on screen indicating that the console
is ready for input. There are several commands that can be used on the console
discussed below. To exit interactive mode type in the command quit or
press the keys Ctrl+D or Ctrl+C.
Commands can also be passed to the console via a pipeline which causes the console to execute the commands passed and immediately exit therefore not activating interactive mode.
echo "help create" | python3 console.py
