NAME

       scriptreplay - play back typescripts, using timing information

SYNOPSIS

       scriptreplay [options] [-t] timingfile [typescript [divisor]]

DESCRIPTION

       This  program replays a typescript, using timing information to ensure that output happens at the same speed as it originally appeared when
       the script was recorded.

       The replay simply displays the information again; the programs that were run when the typescript was being  recorded  are  not  run  again.
       Since  the same information is simply being displayed, scriptreplay is only guaranteed to work properly if run on the same type of terminal
       the typescript was recorded on.	Otherwise, any escape characters in the typescript may be interpreted differently by the terminal to which
       scriptreplay is sending its output.

       The timing information is what script(1) outputs to standard error if it is run with the -t parameter.

       By  default,  the typescript to display is assumed to be named typescript, but other filenames may be specified, as the second parameter or
       with option -s.

       If the third parameter is specified, it is used as a speed-up multiplier.  For example, a speed-up of 2	makes  scriptreplay  go  twice	as
       fast, and a speed-up of 0.1 makes it go ten times slower than the original session.

OPTIONS

       The first three options will overide old-style arguments.

       -t, --timing file
	      File containing script timing output.

       -s, --typescript file
	      File containing the script terminal output.

       -d, --divisor number
	      Speed  up  the  replay  displaying  this	number of times.  The argument is a floating point number.  It's called divisor because it
	      divides the timings by this factor.

       -V, --version
	      Display version information and exit.

       -h, --help
	      Display a help message and exit.

EXAMPLE

       % script --timing=file.tm script.out
       Script started, file is script.out
       % ls
       <etc, etc>
       % exit
       Script done, file is script.out
       % scriptreplay --timing file.tm --typescript script.out
