 script(TC)                      19 June 1992                      script(TC)


 Name

    script - make typescript of terminal session

 Syntax

    script [ -a ] [ file ]

 Description

    script makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal.  The
    typescript is written to file, or appended to file if the -a option is
    given.  It can be sent to the line printer later with lp.  If no filename
    is given, the typescript is saved in the file typescript.

    The script ends when the forked shell exits.

    This program is useful when using a crt and a hard-copy record of the
    dialog is desired, as for a student handing in a program that was devel-
    oped on a crt when hard-copy terminals are in short supply.

 Notes

    script places everything in the log file.  This is not what the naive
    user expects.
