This is the README file for Expect, a program that performs programmed

It uses pseudo-tty's to control the child processes, so it is not affected

by programs that refuse to read from stdin or pipes. (eg: passwd(1) etc).
|
||||||
its man page, expect(1). This directory contains the source and man
|
|
||||||
page for Expect.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is Expect 5 for Tcl 7.0 thru 7.4. Tk 3.3 thru 4.0 are also
|
|
||||||
supported. If you have Expect 4 scripts, read the CHANGES.4to5 file.

A book on Expect is available from O'Reilly with the title "Exploring

Expect: A Tcl-Based Toolkit for Automating Interactive Applications",
|
|
||||||
ISBN 1-56592-090-2.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The book is filled with detailed examples and explanations, and is a
|
|
||||||
comprehensive tutorial to Expect. The book also includes a tutorial
|
|
||||||
on Tcl written specifically for Expect users (so you don't have to
|
|
||||||
read the Expect papers, the debugger paper, Ousterhout's book, or the
|
|
||||||
man pages). Exploring Expect is 602 pages.

Getting Started - The Hacker Way
|
|
||||||
--------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
While the book is the best way to learn about Expect, it is not
|
|
||||||
absolutely necessary. There are man pages after all, plus I have
|
|
||||||
published numerous papers on Expect. All of these papers are in the
|
|
||||||
public domain and can be received free. If you are a hacker on a
|
|
||||||
tight budget, this may appeal to you. Nonetheless, I think you will
|
|
||||||
find the book pays for itself very quickly. It is much more readable
|
|
||||||
than the man pages, it includes well-written and explained examples,
|
|
||||||
and it describes everything in the papers as a coherent whole. The
|
|
||||||
concepts in the papers actually only make up a small fraction of the
|
|
||||||
book.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The 1990 USENIX paper (see "Readings" below) is probably the best one
|
|
||||||
for understanding Expect conceptually. The 1991 Computing Systems and
|
|
||||||
the LISA IV papers provide a nice mix of examples. The only downside
|
|
||||||
is, the examples in these papers don't actually work anymore - some
|
|
||||||
aspects (e.g., syntax) of both Expect and Tcl have changed. The
|
|
||||||
papers still make interesting reading - just don't study the examples
|
|
||||||
too closely! Fortunately, most of the examples from the papers also
|
|
||||||
accompany this distribution - and all of these are up to date.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For all the details, read the man page. It is long but you can get
|
|
||||||
started just by skimming the sections on the following commands:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
spawn (starts a process)
|
|
||||||
send (sends to a process)
|
|
||||||
expect (waits for output from a process)
|
|
||||||
interact (lets you interact with a process)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To print out the Expect man page, invoke your local troff using the
|
|
||||||
-man macros, such as either of:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
ptroff -man expect.man
|
|
||||||
ditroff -man expect.man
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If Expect is installed, you can read the man pages using the "usual"
|
|
||||||
man commands, such as "man expect". If not installed, view the man
|
|
||||||
page on your screen by saying something like:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
nroff -man expect.man | more
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Expect uses Tcl as the underlying language for expressing things such
|
|
||||||
as procedures, loops, file I/O, and arithmetic expressions. For many
|
|
||||||
simple scripts, it is not necessary to learn about Tcl. Just by
|
|
||||||
studying the examples, you will learn enough Tcl to get by. But if
|
|
||||||
you would like to learn more about Tcl or use it in your own
|
|
||||||
applications, read the Tcl README file which provides pointers to the
|
|
||||||
extensive Tcl documentation. Or read Exploring Expect. Chapter 2 of
|
|
||||||
Exploring Expect is a Tcl tutorial specifically designed for Expect
|
|
||||||
users.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
An interactive debugger is bundled with Expect. The debugger has its
|
|
||||||
own documentation that comes separately. It is listed in the Readings
|
|
||||||
below. Again, it is slightly out of date. An up-to-date description
|
|
||||||
of the debugger appears in Chapter 18 of Exploring Expect. This
|
|
||||||
chapter also contains additional advice and tips for debugging.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may get the feeling that the Expect documentation is somewhat
|
|
||||||
scattered and disorganized. This was true prior to publication of
|
|
||||||
Exploring Expect. The book contains everything you need to know, all
|
|
||||||
up-to-date, and with examples of every concept. (The book contains no
|
|
||||||
references to any of the Expect papers because none are necessary.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
----------------------
|
|
||||||
Examples
|
|
||||||
----------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This distribution contains many example scripts. (All of the
|
|
||||||
substantive examples in the book are included.) They can be found in
|
|
||||||
the example directory of this distribution. The README file in that
|
|
||||||
directory briefly describes all of the example scripts. Many of the
|
|
||||||
more sophisticated examples have man pages of their own.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Other interesting scripts are available separately in the directory
|
|
||||||
pub/expect/scripts at ftp.cme.nist.gov. (See below for how to
|
|
||||||
retrieve these.) You are welcome to send me scripts to add to this
|
|
||||||
directory. A number of Expect scripts are also available in the Tcl
|
|
||||||
archive, available via anonymous ftp at ftp.aud.alcatel.com.

How to Get the Latest Version of Expect or the Readings
|
|
||||||
--------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Expect may be ftp'd as pub/expect/expect.tar.Z from ftp.cme.nist.gov.
|
|
||||||
Request email delivery by mailing to "library@cme.nist.gov". The
|
|
||||||
contents of the message should be (no subject line) "send
|
|
||||||
pub/expect/expect.tar.Z". (Development versions of Expect may
|
|
||||||
occasionally be made available as alpha.tar.Z in the same directory.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Once you have retrieved the system, read the INSTALL file. The papers
|
|
||||||
mentioned above can be retrieved separately as:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
pub/expect/seminal.ps.Z (USENIX '90 - Intro and Implementation)
|
|
||||||
pub/expect/sysadm.ps.Z (LISA '90 - System Administration)
|
|
||||||
pub/expect/scripts.ps.Z (Computing Systems '91 - Overview of Scripts)
|
|
||||||
pub/expect/regress.ps.Z (USENIX '92 - Testing)

||||||
|
|
||||||
The book "Exploring Expect" is described in more detail earlier in
|
|
||||||
this file.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The book "Obfuscated C and Other Mysteries" is not on-line but is
|
|
||||||
available in bookstores or directly from the publisher (Wiley).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Overhead transparencies I've used at conferences are also available in
|
|
||||||
the same way as the papers themselves. The transparencies are sketchy
|
|
||||||
and not meant for personal education - however if you are familiar
|
|
||||||
with Expect and just want to give a short talk on it to your
|
|
||||||
colleagues, you may find the transparencies useful. They vary in
|
|
||||||
length from 15 to 20 minutes in length. These are:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
pub/expect/seminal-talk.ps.Z (USENIX '90 - Intro and Implementation)
|
|
||||||
pub/expect/sysadm-talk.ps.Z (LISA '90 - System Administration)
|
|
||||||
pub/expect/regress-talk.ps.Z (USENIX '92 - Testing)
|
|
||||||
pub/expect/tcl-debug-talk.ps.Z (Tcl/Tk '93 - Tcl/Tk Debugger)

All of the documents are compressed PostScript files and should be
|
|
||||||
uncompressed and sent to a PostScript printer. The documents are
|
|
||||||
intended for printing at 8.5"x11" and may fail on some ISO A4
|
|
||||||
printers. According to Hans Mayer <Hans.Mayer@gmd.de>, you can make
|
|
||||||
them A4-able by searching for "FMVERSION" and changing the next line

|
||||||
Using Expect with and without Tcl and/or Tk.
|
|
||||||
--------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The usual way of using Expect is as a standalone program with Tcl as
|
|
||||||
the control language. Since you may already have Tcl, it is available
|
|
||||||
separately. Tcl may be retrieved as pub/expect/tcl.tar.Z in the same
|
|
||||||
way as described above for Expect. When new releases of Tcl appear, I
|
|
||||||
will try to check them out for Expect as soon as possible. If you
|
|
||||||
would like to get the newest Tcl release without waiting, ftp it from
|
|
||||||
ftp.smli.com (directory pub/tcl).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Expect may also be built using the Tk library, a Tcl interface to the
|
|
||||||
X Window System. Tk is available in the same way as Tcl.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is possible to embed the Expect/Tcl core and optionally Tk in your
|
|
||||||
own C programs. This is described in libexpect(3).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Expect can also be used from a C or C++ program without Tcl. This is
|
|
||||||
described in libexpect(3). While I consider this library to be easy
|
|
||||||
to use, the standalone Expect program is much, much easier to use than
|
|
||||||
working with the C compiler and its usual edit, compile, debug cycle.
|
|
||||||
Unlike typical programming, most of the debugging isn't getting the C
|
|
||||||
compiler to accept your programs - rather, it is getting the dialogue
|
|
||||||
correct. Also, translating scripts from Expect to C is usually not
|
|
||||||
necessary. For example, the speed of interactive dialogues is
|
|
||||||
virtually never an issue. So please try 'expect' first. It is a more
|
|
||||||
appropriate tool than the library for most people.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
--------------------
|
|
||||||
Systems Supported
|
|
||||||
--------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I do not know of any UNIX systems on which Expect will not run.
|
|
||||||
Systems which do not support select or poll can use Expect, but
|
|
||||||
without the ability to run multiple processes simultaneously. I am
|
|
||||||
willing to work with you to complete a port.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Before sending me changes, please download or verify that you have the
|
|
||||||
latest version of Expect (see above). Then send me a "diff -c" along
|
|
||||||
with a suitable English explanation. If your diff involves something
|
|
||||||
specific to a machine, give me diffs for configure.in as well or give
|
|
||||||
me a hint about when the diffs should be done so I can write the
|
|
||||||
configure support myself. Also please include the version of the OS
|
|

Installing Expect
|
|
||||||
--------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Expect comes with a configure script that provides for an automated
|
|
||||||
installation. I believe you will find that Expect is very easy to
|
|
||||||
install. (Tcl and Tk, too.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For more information, read the INSTALL file.

|
||||||
History
|
|
||||||
--------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Expect was conceived of in September, 1987. The bulk of version 2 was
|
|
||||||
designed and written between January and April, 1990. Minor evolution
|
|
||||||
occurred after that until Tcl 6.0 was released. At that time
|
|
||||||
(October, 1991) approximately half of Expect was rewritten for version
|
|
||||||
3. See the HISTORY file for more information. The HISTORY file may
|
|
||||||
be retrieved separately as pub/expect/HISTORY.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Around January 1993, an alpha version of Expect 4 was introduced.
|
|
||||||
This included Tk support as well as a large number of enhancements. A
|
|
||||||
few changes were made to the user interface itself, which is why the
|
|
||||||
major version number was changed. A production version of Expect 4
|
|
||||||
was released in August 1993.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In October 1993, an alpha version of Expect 5 was released to match
|
|
||||||
Tcl 7.0. A large number of enhancements were made, including some
|
|
||||||
changes to the user interface itself, which is why the major version
|
|
||||||
number was changed (again). This documentation and software
|
|
||||||
distribution is the production version of Expect 5 - initially
|
|
||||||
released in March '94.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Some of the papers listed above correspond to earlier versions
|
|
||||||
although they are still good ways to learn about Expect. There are
|
|
||||||
important differences between Expect 3, 4, and 5. See the CHANGES.*
|
|
||||||
files if you want to read about them. Expect 4 has ceased further
|
|
||||||
development and is not supported. However, if for some reason you
|
|
||||||
want the old code, it is available from pub/expect/old as described
|
|
||||||
above.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The book became available around January '95. It describes Expect 5
|
|
||||||
as it is today, rather than how Expect 5 was when it was originally
|
|
||||||
released. Thus, if you have not upgraded Expect since before getting
|
|
||||||
the book, you should upgrade now.

Support from Don Libes or NIST
|
|
||||||
--------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Although I can't promise anything in the way of support, I'd be
|
|
||||||
interested to hear about your experiences using it (good or bad). I'm
|
|
||||||
also interested in hearing bug reports and suggestions for improvement
|
|
||||||
even though I can't promise to implement them.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you send me a bug, fix, or question, include the version of Expect
|
|
||||||
(as reported by expect -d), version of Tcl, and name and version of
|
|
||||||
the OS that you are using. Before sending mail, it may be helpful to
|
|
||||||
verify that your problem still exists in the latest version. You can
|
|
||||||
check on the current release and whether it addresses your problems by
|
|
||||||
retrieving the latest HISTORY file (see "History" above).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Awards, love letters, and bug reports may be sent to:

I hereby place this software in the public domain. NIST and I would
|
|
||||||
appreciate credit if this program or parts of it are used.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Design and implementation of this program was funded primarily by
|
|
||||||
myself. Funding contributors include the NIST Automated Manufacturing
|
|
||||||
Research Facility (funded by the Navy Manufacturing Technology
|
|
||||||
Program), the NIST Scientific and Technical Research Services, the
|
|
||||||
ARPA Persistent Object Bases project and the Computer-aided
|
|
||||||
Acquisition and the Logistic Support (CALS) program of the Office of
|
|
||||||
the Secretary of Defense.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Especially signicant contributions were made by John Ousterhout, Henry
|
|
||||||
Spencer, and Rob Savoye. See the HISTORY file for others.

|
|
||||||
Support for Don Libes or NIST
|
|
||||||
--------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
NIST accepts external funding and other resources (hardware, software,
|
|
||||||
and personnel). This can be a fine way to work more closely with NIST
|
|
||||||
and encourage particular areas of research.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Funding can be earmarked for specific purposes or for less-specific
|
|
||||||
purposes. For example, if you simply like the work I do, you can
|
|
||||||
contribute directly to my funding which will reduce the amount of time
|
|
||||||
I have to spend writing proposals and submitting them to other people
|
|
||||||
for funding on my own.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I can also participate in the NIST Fellows program allowing me to
|
|
||||||
spend several months to a year working directly with your company and
|
|
||||||
potentially even at your location. I am also interested in returning
|
|
||||||
to an academic program. I presently have an MS and am hunting for
|
|
||||||
Ph.D. topics and advisors. Let me know if you have ideas or are
|
|
||||||
interested in being my advisor.
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
Commercial Support
|
|
||||||
--------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Several companies provide commercial support for Expect. If your
|
|
||||||
company has a financial investment in Expect or you wish to be assured
|
|
||||||
of continuing support for Expect, you can buy a support contract this
|
|
||||||
way. These companies currently include:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Cygnus Support
|
|
||||||
1937 Landings Drive
|
|
||||||
Mountain View, CA 94043
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
info@cygnus.com
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Computerized Processes Unlimited

|
||||||

|
|
||||||
info@cpu.com
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Neither NIST nor I have any commercial relationship with these
|
|
||||||
companies. Cygnus is in the process of signing an agreement with NIST
|
|
||||||
that describes its non-exclusive position to support Expect. Other
|
|
||||||
companies are welcome to apply for such an agreement or other kinds of
|
|
||||||
agreements such as permission-to-use. Strictly speaking, such
|
|
||||||
agreements are not necessary, however they make us look good to our
|
|
||||||
funding source, the U.S. Congress.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note that Cygnus does not sell support for Expect explicitly. But
|
|
||||||
they will support Expect if you buy support for their DejaGnu product
|
|
||||||
which is a testing framework built on top of Expect.
