ttyrec2ansi(1)

✨ ttyrec2ansi — the glow-up your ttyrec files have been waiting for ✨

okay so bestie, imagine you recorded your terminal with ttyrec and now you've got this .ttyrec file that's like... 90% timing metadata and 10% actual content. that's where our girl comes in. she's a ttyrec to ansi converter and she is, frankly, iconic. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ttyrec2ansi < log.ttyrec > outfile

that's it. that's the whole vibe. pipe it in, redirect it out. main character energy, no flags, no drama. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea ☕ — ttyrec2ansi strips the timing information out of your .ttyrec files while retaining all the ANSI codes. the colors? kept. the cursor jumps? kept. the timestamps that made the file 400MB? gone, bestie, not invited to the party. 💀

once you've done that, you've got options, and honestly? obsessed with the range:

• you can convert the result to plain text using ansi2txt
• or, if your recording contains nothing but color codes, you can convert it to HTML using ansi2html

like literally a whole pipeline of little terminal girlies passing the file down the line. 🫶

• ansi2txt(1)
• ansi2html(1)

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this one's from 2005-03-21, living in the General Commands Manual section, and she's been serving ttyrec2ansi(1) realness since before some of us were even born 😭 lowkey legendary. go strip some timings, you got this 💖✨
