.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This program replays a typescript, using timing information to ensure that
-output happens at the same speed as it originally appeared when the script
+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.
+that were run when the typescript was being recorded are \fBnot run again\fR.
Since the same information is simply being displayed,
.B scriptreplay
is only guaranteed to work properly if run on the same type of
.PP
The timing information is what
.BR script (1)
-outputs to standard error if it is
-run with the
-.B \-t
-parameter.
+outputs to file specified by
+.BR \-\-log-timing .
.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 .
+.BR \-\-log\-out .
.PP
-If the third parameter is specified, it is used as a speed-up multiplier.
+If the third parameter or
+.BR \-\-divisor
+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 overide old-style arguments.
+.TP
+.BR \-I , " \-\-log-in " \fIfile\fR
+File containing \fBscript\fR's terminal input.
+.TP
+.BR \-O , " \-\-log-out " \fIfile\fR
+File containing \fBscript\fR's terminal output.
+.TP
+.BR \-B , " \-\-log-io " \fIfile\fR
+File containing \fBscript\fR's terminal output and input.
.TP
.BR \-t , " \-\-timing " \fIfile\fR
-File containing script timing output.
+File containing \fBscript\fR's timing output. This option overrides old-style arguments.
.TP
.BR \-s , " \-\-typescript " \fIfile\fR
-File containing the script terminal output.
+File containing \fBscript\fR's terminal output. Deprecated alias to \fB\-\-log-out\fR.
+This option overrides old-style arguments.
+.TP
+.BR \-c , " \-\-cr\-mode " \fImode\fR
+Specifies how to use CR (0x0D, carriage return) character from log files.
+The default mode is "auto", in this case CR is replaced with line break for
+stdin log, because otherwise scriptreplay will overwrite the same line.
+The another modes are "never" and "always".
.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.
+because it divides the timings by this factor. This option overrides old-style arguments.
+.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 a help message and exit.
+Display help text and exit.

Script started, file is script.out
