Package: expect (5.42.1-1.2)

A program that "talks" to other programs

Expect is a program that "talks" to other interactive programs according to a script. Following the script, Expect knows what can be expected from a program and what the correct response should be. An interpreted language provides branching and high- level control structures to direct the dialogue. In addition, the user can take control and interact directly when desired, afterward returning control to the script.
