Invoke a CLI prompt and wait for user input. The user input is defined as a string for subsequent use. If the script is run non-interactively, the function returns an empty value. This function cannot be used with commit or event scripts.
The prefix associated with the namespace URI should be defined in the prefix-to-namespace mapping in the style sheet.
If the jcs.get_input string
argument includes a null character sequence (\0), Python automation scripts generate an Invalid number
of arguments error.
