scriptreplay
SCRIPTREPLAY(1) User Commands SCRIPTREPLAY(1)
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 in the same rhythm 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 override old-style arguments.
-t, --timing file
File containing script's timing output.
-s, --typescript file
File containing script's 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.
-m, --maxdelay number
Set the maximum delay between transcript updates to number of seconds. The argument is a floating point number. This can be used
to avoid long pauses in the transcript replay.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit.
-h, --help
Display help text 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
