Description

Is it possible to provide debugging facility like in pexpect: https://pexpect.readthedocs.io/en/stable/overview.html#debugging

I can not find a way to redirect stdout. For example.expectrl has logging of stdout: https://docs.rs/expectrl/latest/expectrl/#an-example-of-logging

Research direction

Start by comparing the debugging facility described in pexpect's debugging documentation with expectrl's stdout logging example. Then inspect rexpect's process interaction and output-handling entry points to determine the intended scope. Done should be a clearly defined way to observe or redirect process output, with behavior aligned to the chosen reference.
