SCRIPT(1)                            BSD                             SCRIPT(1)



NAME
     script - make typescript of terminal session

SYNOPSIS
     script [ -a ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION
     The script command forks a new shell and makes a typescript of everything
     printed on your terminal (or a pad on a node).  The typescript is written
     to (or appended to) file; if no file is specified, the typescript is
     saved in the file typescript.  It can be sent to the line printer later
     with lpr.  The script ends when the forked shell exits.

     This program is useful when you're using a crt and wish to have a hard-
     copy record of the dialog.

OPTIONS
     -a        Append to file. If file isn't specified, append to filename
               typescript in the current directory.

     file      Write (or append) to file instead of filename typescript in the
               current directory.

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