ttyrec is a tty recorder. Recorded data can be played back with the included ttyplay command. ttyrec is a fork of the script command for recording timing information with microsecond accuracy as well. It can record emacs -nw, vi, lynx, or any software running on a tty.
ttyrec invokes a shell and records the session until the shell exits. This small utility has found favor with NetHack gamers for storing replays.
A ttyrec consists of many frames. Each frame is made up of a twelve-byte header and an arbitrarily long data block. The twelve-byte header contains two pieces of information: how much data is in this frame and a timestamp.
Key Features
- Output file contains timestamp information in addition to the terminal data.
- Overwrite or append out to file.
- Automatically call uudecode.
- Transfer files from remote host.
- Speed up/down playbacks.
- Examine a ttyrecord recording in real time.
- Measure the time of recorded data.
- Records to a single file.
