NAME

6       playback - IBM x3270 trace file playback tool
7

SYNOPSIS

9       playback [ -p port ] trace_file
10

DESCRIPTION

12       playback opens a trace file (presumably created by the x3270 Trace Data
13       Stream facility) and plays the host data it contains back over a socket
14       to processes that connect to it.  It also displays the data produced by
15       the process in response.
16
17       Once connected to a process, playback is used interactively.   Keyboard
18       commands  control  the flow of data from the file to the socket.  These
19       commands are:
20
21       s      Send one line of data.
22
23       r      Send one record of data (send data until the TELNET EOR sequence
24              is reached).
25
26       q      Exit playback.
27
28       d      Disconnect the current socket and wait for another connection.

EXAMPLE

31       Suppose    you    wanted   to   play   back   a   trace   file   called
32       /usr/tmp/x3trc.12345.  In one window, run:
33
34            playback /usr/tmp/x3trc.12345
35
36       In another window, start x3270 with the command:
37
38            x3270 localhost 4001
39
40       playback will announce the connection.
41
42       Thereafter, the s and r commands will send data from the file to x3270.
