NAME scriptreplay - play back typescript of terminal session

SYNOPSIS scriptreplay -h|--help

scriptreplay [-a|--accelerate <num>] [-t|--timing <timingfile>]
<typescript>

DESCRIPTION scriptreplay replays a typescript of a terminal session; optionally, using timing data to ensure realistic typing and output delays.

The timing data consists of two fields, separated by a space. The first
field indicates how much time elapsed since the previous output. The
second field indicates how many characters were output this time.

*typescript* is the path to the typescript file. If the file
*typescript*.timing exists then it is automatically used as timing data
file. Use parameter -t or --timing to specify an alternative timing data
file.

This version of scriptreplay supports reading of compressed *typescript*
files. If *timingfile* is not specified, scriptreplay tries to open a
timing data file that uses the same compression algorithm as
*typescript*. The decompression method is determined by examining the
file extension of the *typescript* file. Recognized file extensions of
compressed *typescript* files are: "bz2", "gz", "lz" or "lzma".

Controlling the playback * "-" or "d" decreases display speed.

*   "+" or "i" increases display speed.

*   "s" or "p" pauses the playback; and "c" continues again.

*   "f" or "q" stops the playback and exits scriptreplay.

Pressing any other key jumps to the next output (useful if there is no
output activity due to a long delay).

OPTIONS -a, --accelerate num Accelerates timing by factor num. num must be greater than 0. A num value less than 1 slows down the playback speed; and a value greater than 1 increases the playback speed.

-t, --timing *timingfile*
        Specify the file path to the timing data file.

EXAMPLES Create a new typescript with timing data user@caladan:~$ script -t typescript 2>typescript.timing Script started, file is typescript user@caladan:~$ ls ... user@caladan:~$ exit Script done, file is typescript

Replay a typescript user@arrakis:~$ scriptreplay typescript user@caladan:~$ ls ... user@caladan:~$ exit

 scriptreplay: typescript time (normal):    14 seconds ( 0 minutes)
 scriptreplay: typescript time (accel) :     1 seconds ( 0 minutes)

NOTES The playback might not work properly if the typescript contains output from applications that have been recorded with different termio settings and/or terminal window sizes.
