<language, tool> A Unix tool written in Tcl and a script
language for automating the operation of interactive
applications such as telnet, FTP, passwd, fsck,
rlogin, tip, etc.. Expect can feed input to other
programs and perform pattern matching on their output. It
is also useful for testing these applications. By adding
Tk, you can also wrap interactive applications in X11
GUIs.
