TERMCAT(1)

💖 NAME 💖

termcat — the girlies' way to convert and/or join ttyrec recordings 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

termcat file1 [file2] ...  outfile

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so bestie, here's the tea: termcat grabs all the input recordings you hand it, smushes them together (concatenates, if we're being fancy 💅), and then writes the whole glow-up out to the target file — in whatever format you choose. it's giving "glow up + merge" energy fr fr 🦋

like, for example:

termcat 1.nh.gz 2.ttyrec.bz2 combined.ttyrec.bz2

termcat telnet://towel.blinkenlights.nl starwars.ttyrec.bz2

⚠️ okay this part is IMPORTANT and the way that people get it wrong every single time 😭 — unlike cat, the last file is the OUTPUT, not one of the components. she's the destination, not the squad. don't come for me, that's just how she is 💀

and if you really wanna send ttyrec data straight to stdout? use -. that's the move. periodt. 👑
