TERMREC(1) termrec TERMREC(1)

NAME

termrec - a tty recorder

SYNOPSIS

termrec [-f format] [-e command] [outfile]

DESCRIPTION

Termrec is a tty recorder; it can record the output of any text mode program which you can then replay with termplay, ttyplay, ipbt, ttyplayer, nh-recorder, asciinema or similar.

If outfile ends in .gz, .xz, .bz2 or .zst, the data will be appropriately compressed.

If no outfile is given, termrec will produce a name like 2008-11-27.13-02-42.ttyrec.bz2

You can write directly to some remote URLs, such as tcp://host:port but that's usually of little use.

Options:

You can specify a format other than ttyrec. Those available are:
No timing data. This is same as the output of script(1).
Compatible with ttyrec by Satoru Takabayashi.
Compatible with nh-recorder by Helge Dennhardt.
Compatible with asciinema by Marcin Kulik; format v2.
asciicast-v1
Likewise, format v1.
Runs a command instead of spawning a shell and records its output.
Inhibits noting info about your terminal size and UTFness. This data is usually a good thing, but can confuse some programs. Also note that none of the formats provides a way to mark which exactly charset you use -- only if it's UTF-8 or one of ancient ones.
If the output file exists, it will be appended instead being overwritten.
Shows a short explanation of parameters.

ENVIRONMENT

Unless -e is given, this will be the shell spawned, falling back to /bin/sh if not set. On Windows, COMSPEC is used instead.
