+Disclaimer on Command-Line Interface (CLI) usage
+--------------------------------------------------------
+PyOTP is **NOT** a command-line interface (CLI). If you are looking for a CLI tool, this is not the right project. PyOTP is a **library** intended for use by other applications that provide a user interface, such as `3ncrypt0rQR `_ or `pyotp_cli `_. While a CLI may be added in the future—see `Pull Request #159 `_—this is not the current focus of the project.
