Name

recordio — run a program recording its standard input and output

Synopsis

recordio {next-prog}

Description

recordio is a utility that chain loads next-prog with the execvp(3) function. It redirects the standard input and standard output through a pipe, whose other end is a child process that it spawns.

The child process has the original standard input and standard output. It records, to standard error, all of the I/O over the standard input and standard output; as well as passing it through the pipe.
