# termcat(1)

convert and/or join ttyrec recordings

## NAME

termcat - convert and/or join ttyrec recordings

## SYNOPSIS

**termcat** *file1* *\[file2\] ...*  *outfile*

## DESCRIPTION

**Termcat** takes all the input recordings, concatenates them together then writes to the target file in a format you choose.

For example:

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

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

Note that unlike **cat**, the last file is output, not one of components. If you really want to send ttyrec data to stdout, use "-".

## SEE ALSO

[**termrec**(1)](/termrec/1.md), [**termplay**(1)](/termplay/1.md), [**termtime**(1)](/termtime/1.md).
