+.TH SCRIPTREPLAY 1 "September 2011" "util-linux" "User Commands"
+.SH "NAME"
+scriptreplay \- play back typescripts, using timing information
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.B scriptreplay
+[options]
+.RB [ \-t ]
+.I timingfile
+.RI [ typescript
+.RI [ divisor ]]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+This program replays a typescript, using timing information to ensure that
+output happens in the same rhythm as it originally appeared when the script
+was recorded.
+.PP
+The replay simply displays the information again; the programs
+that were run when the typescript was being recorded are not run again.
+Since the same information is simply being displayed,
+.B scriptreplay
+is only guaranteed to work properly if run on the same type of
+terminal the typescript was recorded on. Otherwise, any escape characters
+in the typescript may be interpreted differently by the terminal to
+which
+.B scriptreplay
+is sending its output.
+.PP
+The timing information is what
+.BR script (1)
+outputs to standard error if it is
+run with the
+.B \-t
+parameter.
+.PP
+By default, the typescript to display is assumed to be named
+.BR typescript ,
+but other filenames may be specified, as the second parameter or with option
+.BR \-s .
+.PP
+If the third parameter is specified, it is used as a speed-up multiplier.
+For example, a speed-up of 2 makes
+.B scriptreplay
+go twice as fast, and a speed-up of 0.1 makes it go ten times slower
+than the original session.
+.SH OPTIONS
+The first three options will override old-style arguments.
+.TP
+.BR \-t , " \-\-timing " \fIfile\fR
+File containing \fBscript\fR's timing output.
+.TP
+.BR \-s , " \-\-typescript " \fIfile\fR
+File containing \fBscript\fR's terminal output.
+.TP
+.BR \-d , " \-\-divisor " \fInumber\fR
+Speed up the replay displaying this
+.I number
+of times. The argument is a floating point number. It's called divisor
+because it divides the timings by this factor.
+.TP
+.BR \-m , " \-\-maxdelay " \fInumber\fR
+Set the maximum delay between transcript updates to
+.I number
+of seconds. The argument is a floating point number. This can be used to
+avoid long pauses in the transcript replay.
+.TP
+.BR \-V , " \-\-version"
+Display version information and exit.
+.TP
+.BR \-h , " \-\-help"
+Display help text and exit.
+.SH "EXAMPLE"
+.nf
+% script --timing=file.tm script.out
+Script started, file is script.out
+% ls
+<etc, etc>
+% exit
+Script done, file is script.out
+% scriptreplay --timing file.tm --typescript script.out
