💖 recordio — General Commands Manual 💖

okay so bestie, this is the recordio(1) page, and it’s literally here to record the input and output of a program. iykyk 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

recordio — records the input and output of a program. periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

recordio prog

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So recordio runs prog. It prints lines to descriptor 2 showing the input and output of prog. 💅

At the beginning of each line on descriptor 2, recordio inserts the prog process ID, along with < for input or > for output. At the end of each line it inserts +, a space, or [EOF]; a space indicates that there was a new line in the input or output, and [EOF] indicates the end of input or output. no cap, that’s the whole tagging system 🎀

recordio prints every packet of input and output immediately. It does not attempt to combine packets into coherent lines. For example,

recordio sh -c 'cat /dev/fd/8 2>&1' > /dev/null

could produce

5135 > cat: /dev/fd/8: Bad file descriptor
5135 > [EOF]

or

5135 > cat: +
5135 > /dev/fd/8+
5135 > : +
5135 > Bad file descriptor
5135 > [EOF]

if the cat program prints several packets. 😭

recordio uses several lines for long packets to guarantee that each line is printed atomically. that’s the atomic slay ✨

recordio runs as a child process of prog. It exits when it sees the end of prog's output. 👑
