💖 BYZANZ-PLAYBACK(1) — the general commands manual glow-up 💖

okay bestie, so this is byzanz-playback, and it's here to process a byzanz debug recording. yes, that's the whole vibe. it's the little convert-y friend that takes your debug capture and turns it into something you can actually show people. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

byzanz-playback [options] INFILE OUTFILE

like, that's it. two files, one dream. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea. you can make a byzanz debug recording by using the extension .byzanz. (that's the extension, that's the move, periodt.) 💅

and then — and this is the main character moment — to convert those recordings into the other formats that Byzanz supports, you use byzanz-playback. that's literally its entire job and it does it beautifully.

the rules, no cap:

• INFILE must be a byzanz debug file. non-negotiable. it's giving "bring the right file or don't come."
• OUTFILE is the file you're converting it to.
• the extension on your OUTFILE is what determines the format that gets used. so the filename is lowkey doing all the decision-making. iconic behavior tbh. 👑

and if you wanna know which formats and extensions are even on the menu? go read the byzanz-record(1) man page, it has the full list. iykyk. 📜

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, --help — shows a brief help message. that's it, that's the option. short king energy. 🙈
