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).
