NAME
       recordio	- records the input and	output of a program.

SYNOPSIS
       recordio	prog

DESCRIPTION
       recordio	 runs prog.  It	prints lines to	descriptor 2 showing the input
       and output of prog.

       At the beginning	of each	line on	descriptor  2,	recordio  inserts  the
       prog  process ID, along with < for input	or > for output. At the	end of
       each line it inserts +, a space,	or [EOF]; a space indicates that there
       was a new line in the input or output, and [EOF]	indicates the  end  of
       input or	output.

       recordio	 prints	 every packet of input and output immediately. It does
       not attempt to combine packets into coherent lines. For example,

	      recordio sh -c 'cat /dev/fd/8 2>&1' > /dev/null

       could produce

	    5135 > cat:	/dev/fd/8: Bad file descriptor
	    5135 > [EOF]

       or

	    5135 > cat:	+
	    5135 > /dev/fd/8+
	    5135 > : +
	    5135 > Bad file descriptor
	    5135 > [EOF]

       if the cat program prints several packets.

       recordio	uses several lines for long packets  to	 guarantee  that  each
       line is printed atomically.

       recordio	 runs  as  a child process of prog.  It	exits when it sees the
       end of prog's output.
