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
