scriptreplay: Replay a typescript at the speed it was recorded.
$ scriptreplay ${path-to-timing_file} ${path-to-typescript}
try on your machine

The command "scriptreplay ${path-to-timing_file} ${path-to-typescript}" is used to replay a recorded terminal session with timing information.

Here's a breakdown of the command and its arguments:

  • scriptreplay: This is the name of the command that replays the terminal session.
  • ${path-to-timing_file}: This is the path to the timing file that contains the recorded timing information of the terminal session. This file should have been generated during the original recording of the session using the "script" command.
  • ${path-to-typescript}: This is the path to the typescript file that contains the recorded output of the terminal session. This file should have been generated during the original recording of the session using the "script" command.

By providing the timing file and typescript file as arguments to the scriptreplay command, it will replay the terminal session by outputting the recorded command output at the same speed as it was originally recorded. This can be useful for reviewing or demonstrating a previous session, especially when timing is important.
