Since the same information is simply being\ndisplayed, scriptreplay is only guaranteed to work properly if run on the same type of\nterminal the typescript was recorded on. Otherwise, any escape characters in the typescript\nmay be interpreted differently by the terminal to which scriptreplay is sending its output.\n\nThe timing information is what script(1) outputs to file specified by --log-timing.\n\nBy default, the typescript to display is assumed to be named typescript, but other filenames\nmay be specified, as the second parameter or with option --log-out.\n\nIf the third parameter or --divisor is specified, it is used as a speed-up multiplier. For\nexample, a speed-up of 2 makes scriptreplay go twice as fast, and a speed-up of 0.1 makes it\ngo ten times slower than the original session.\n", "subsections": [] }, "OPTIONS": { "content": "", "subsections": [ { "name": "-I --log-in", "content": "File containing script's terminal input.\n", "flag": "-I", "long": "--log-in" }, { "name": "-O --log-out", "content": "File containing script's terminal output.\n", "flag": "-O", "long": "--log-out" }, { "name": "-B --log-io", "content": "File containing script's terminal output and input.\n", "flag": "-B", "long": "--log-io" }, { "name": "-t --timing", "content": "File containing script's timing output.
