Record a terminal command, then press 'Control + d' to exit.
```sh
script --timing=time.log stat.txt
ls -a
ls -al
stat ~/.bashrc
^D
```
Replay the session:
```sh
scriptreplay --timing=time.log stat.txt
```
Try a bare command, without any timing:
```sh
script -c 'top | lolcat' loltop
nl loltop
```
Has your terminal messed up?
Is the cursor hiding?
Reset it!
```sh
reset
```
If you can't see any keys, keep typing anyway: have faith in your terminal.
This `loltop` file will not play properly as it has no timings file.
But you can cheat the system and use your other timings file:
```sh
scriptreplay --timing=time.log loltop
```
This will mostly not work well, but it shows how the timing file works:

I think it works like this?
