Hello, OpenBSD!
I am using script(1) to complement a program that I am writing.
However, the current OpenBSD version of script(1) is very old [ based
on NetBSD script(1) version 1.3 ]. It does not have the [-r] and [-p]
options that the current NetBSD version [ 1.21 ] does. FreeBSD's

First off, it is not old. We don't automatically grab changes from

Theo,
Thank you for the feedback. I can understand why some of that
functionality might be unnecessary if one only needs a hard copy of
the terminal session. That is why [-r], [-p] are not applied by
default.
My patch for NetBSD script(1) has been accepted now. I will submit a
PR to OpenBSD soo
What does the replay feature actually do? Does it re-enter the commands
or just display the console output (like "cat typescript", but slower)?

Stuart,
Sorry. I should have clarified. It does not re-enter the commands.
If [-r] is used, then extra timing information is recorded into the
typescript file, which can later be used by [-p] to replay the session
[ like a video ] on the terminal. The patch to which I was referring
enables prope
Theo,
The replay feature does not make script(1) re-enter the
commands. It simply replays them on the terminal as if it were a video
[ like "cat typescript" but slower ]. It is particularly useful if
someone wants to replay [ not re-run ] a curses session [ such as a
game or an editing sessio

Have you tried textproc/asciinema?
$ asciinema rec demo.cast
# do something ncurses or not; stop with ctrl+d
$ asciinema play demo.cas
Stefan,
I had heard about asciinema before [
https://intoli.com/blog/terminal-recorders/ mentions a ton of other
terminal recorders ]. asciinema is great. I had not heard about
textproc before. Thank you very much for the information!
My original intention was to know HOW these programs rec
I am trying to make my own code better + shorter + more portable.
If/when anyone has time, can you please explain the following to me so
that I do not make embarrassing claims like the one that I made on the
other patch thread? :D

Raf,
Aah. Got it. I thought textproc was a separate program [ n00b ].
Sadly, I am only running OpenBSD in a vm currently to examine the code
of script(1). I truly appreciate the fact that you clarified this.

Yes. You are correct. In the back of my mind, I did want to leave a
small mark [ OCD ].
However, I was also trying to justify removing, from my own code, all
isatty instances that are immediately followed by tcgetattr [ again,
OCD ]. The fact that I understood the isatty situation correctly is

Sir,
The statements I had made earlier about tcsetattr failures in
openpty are all false; since the pty slave is always a tty, ENOTTY
failures won't happen. However... I have been experimenting on linux,
and while trying to make the openbsd code work there [ since it is
shorter ], I discovered t
