About:
ttyrec is a utility for recording terminal sessions, capturing all input and output in a binary format. It serves as a lightweight alternative to the 'script' command, producing compact files that can be replayed later. The tool is particularly useful for creating tutorials, debugging interactive sessions, or preserving command-line workflows.
Key Features:
  • Records terminal I/O to a compact binary format
  • Includes a player utility for replaying sessions
  • Lightweight and simple to use
  • Preserves timing information for accurate playback
Use Cases:
  • Creating command-line tutorials and demonstrations
  • Debugging and documenting interactive terminal workflows
  • Archiving terminal sessions for later review
Alternatives:
  • script – Standard Unix tool that records to text, but lacks timing data and dedicated player
  • asciinema – Modern alternative with cloud hosting and web-based playback, but heavier dependency
