NAME¶

tdrerecord - rerecord output of a terminal program

SYNOPSIS¶

tdrerecord [OPTIONS] RECORDING

DESCRIPTION¶

tdrerecord re-records the output of a terminal program, by replaying the input from a recording. This allows a new recording to created based on the same input, after modifying the behaviour of the program. Without options, tdrerecord will create the recording in the file tdrecord-year-month-day@hour:minute:second.

Note that tdrerecord does not check whether the output conforms to the recorded output. This can be dangerous as the input may not be in sync with the output. Depending on the possible actions of the program being run this can cause data corruption.

OPTIONS¶

tdrerecord accepts the following options:

-h, --help

Display a short help message.

-V, --version

Print version and copyright information.

-d dir, --directory=dir

Create the recording in directory dir. This option can not be used together with the -o/--output option.

-o file, --output=file

Save the output in file. This option can not be used togehter with the -d/--directory option.

-l, --no-strip-location-reports

Do not remove ANSI cursor location reports from the recorded client input. These reports are normally generated on request by the client program. Including these in the client input will result in duplicate location reports which is likely to confuse the client. However, in some cases it may be necessary to retain these strings (e.g. if they were not generated in response to a client request).

To stop tdrerecord from interpreting file names that start with a dash as options, one can specify a double dash (--) after which tdrerecord will interpret any following arguments as files to read.

BUGS¶
