This lib doesn't work as documented. I get the following error message, when I execute the code under "Usage":

[...]/test.js:2
       rl = readline('./somefile.txt');
            ^
TypeError: object is not a function

Interesting. What vers on node are you using

Seems in node 10 readline is also the name of a core module. I have published the same module to npm to linebyline. If you add this to your package.json and then change 

require('readline')

to 

require('linebyline');

it should work as expected
