     **Default:** `500`.
   * `tabSize` {integer} The number of spaces a tab is equal to (minimum 1).
     **Default:** `8`.
+  * `signal` {AbortSignal} Allows closing the interface using an AbortSignal.
+    Aborting the signal will internally call `close` on the interface.
 * Returns: {readline.Interface}
 
 The `readline.createInterface()` method creates a new `readline.Interface`
