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.
