.Sh NAME
watch - tty snoop watching utility.
.Sh SYNOPSIS
watch [-ciot] [<tty name>]
.Nm watch
.Nd snoop on another tty line
.Sh SYNOPSYS
.Nm watch

.Ar tty
.\" watch [-ciot] [<tty name>]
.Sh DESCRIPTION
watch utility allows user to see all data coming to the tty,almost
the same way as user on this tty.
Only root can run watch.
The following options are available:
-c Reconnect on close. When tty on which watching was made closed,
utility will automatically reattach itself to the same tty.
By default utility will ask user to enter new tty name if running
in interactive mode or exit while non-interactive.
-i Force interactive mode.Interactive mode is a default if utility
started from tty. If output redirected to file, you can still force
it into interactive mode by this option.
-o Reconnect on overflow. The behaviour of utility on overflow is same
as for tty close. For more info see snp(4).
-t Timestamp.Print date and time each time, tty watching started.
The <tty name> is one of following types:
ttyp?,ttyq?,ttyr? - pseudo tty devices.
ttyv? - virtual ttys (syscons).
tty0?,ttyd? - serial lines.
Each name can be preceeded by "/dev/".
Also recognized:
pty[NUM] - pseudotty's.
vty[NUM] - virtual ttys.
sio[NUM] - serial lines.
While running interactive, all user input discarded except :
Ctrl+C - Exit watch.
Ctrl+X - Change attached tty.
Ctrl+W - Clear screen.
.Nm Watch
allows the superuser to examine all data coming through a specified tty.
.Nm Watch
writes to standard output.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width "-l nul "
.It Fl c
Reconnect on close. If the tty observed by
.Nm watch
is closed, automatically reattach to the same tty.
If this option is not specified,
.Nm watch
will request a new tty if running in interactive mode or exit if running
without a controlling tty.
.It Fl i
Force interactive mode.
Interactive mode is a default if
.Nm watch
is started from a tty.
If output is redirected to a file, interactive mode can still be requested
by specifying this option.
.It Fl o
Reconnect on overflow.
The behaviour of
.Nm watch
if the observed tty overflows is similar to the behavior if the observed tty
is closed.
For more info see
.Xr snp 4 .
.It Fl t
Print the date and time when observation of a given tty is started.
.It Ar tty
Tty may be specified as a remote pseudo tty device, a virtual console, or
a serial line.
Names may be preceded by "/dev/".
.Sh OPERATION
While running in interactive mode, all user input is discarded except for:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width "XXXX" -compact
.It Sy "<control-C>"
Exit
.Nm watch .
.It Sy "<control-W>"
Clear screen.

No terminal emulation involved,all user output comes to the screen as-is.
No terminal emulation is performed.
All user output is reproduced as-is.

Only root can run watch.
The following options are available:

utility will automatically reattach itself to the same tty.
By default utility will ask user to enter new tty name if running
in interactive mode or exit while non-interactive.
-i Force interactive mode.Interactive mode is a default if utility
started from tty. If output redirected to file, you can still force
it into interactive mode by this option.
-o Reconnect on overflow. The behaviour of utility on overflow is same
as for tty close. For more info see snp(4).
