ttyrec

If you're looking for a powerful and versatile tty recorder, look no further than ttyrec. This handy software allows you to record all the data from your terminal, and then play it back using the bundled ttyplay command.

But ttyrec isn't just a simple recorder. It's actually a derivative of the script command, which means that it's capable of recording timing information with microsecond accuracy. Whether you're running emacs -nw, vi, lynx, or any other program on a tty, ttyrec is up to the task.

So how do you use this powerful tool? It's actually quite simple. To start recording, just enter the following command:

% ttyrec

Then, do whatever you want in the shell, and exit when you're done. If you want to execute a specific command while recording, you can use the -e option, like this:

% ttyrec -e command

Playback is just as easy. To play back a recorded session, use the ttyplay command followed by the name of the ttyrecord file you want to play:

% ttyplay ttyrecord

And if you want to speed up or slow down playback, you can use key strokes to make adjustments. Press "+" or "f" to speed up playback twice, "-" or "s" to slow it down twice, or "1" to return playback to normal speed.

But that's not all! With the -p option, you can even peek in on someone else's ttyrec file in real time. So whether you're recording your own work or checking in on someone else's, ttyrec and ttyplay have you covered. Give it a try today and see what this powerful tool can do for you!
