Record and replay terminal sessions as asciicast v2 .cast files
The asciinema candy installs the asciinema terminal recorder from the
distro package (named asciinema on RPM, DEB, and PAC alike). It
provides the /usr/bin/asciinema CLI whose rec subcommand captures a
terminal session – timing, input, and output – into a replayable
asciicast v2 .cast file; this is the engine behind the record: check
verb’s terminal mode (record: start with record_mode: terminal,
served out-of-process by candy/plugin-record).
