NAME

       ttyrec - a tty recorder

SYNOPSIS

       ttyrec [-a] [-u] [-e command] [file]

DESCRIPTION

       Ttyrec  is a tty recorder.  It is a derivative of script(1) command for recording timing information with
       microsecond accuracy as well.  It can record emacs -nw, vi, lynx, or any programs running on tty.

       Ttyrec invokes a shell and records the session until the shell exits.  Recorded data can be  played  back
       with  ttyplay(1).   If the argument file is given, the session will be recorded in that file.  Otherwise,
       ttyrecord is used as default.

OPTIONS

       -a     Append the output to file or ttyrecord, rather than overwriting it.

       -u     With this option, ttyrec automatically calls uudecode(1) and saves its output when uuencoded  data
              appear on the session.  It allow you to transfer files from remote host.  You can call ttyrec with
              this option, login to the remote host and invoke uuencode(1) on  it  for  the  file  you  want  to
              transfer.

       -e command
              Invoke command when ttyrec starts.

ENVIRONMENT

       SHELL  If the variable SHELL exists, the shell forked by ttyrec will be that shell.  If it's not set, the
              Bourne shell is assumed.  (Most shells set this variable automatically).
