PROGRAM:

NAME


script - make typescript of terminal session

SYNOPSIS


script [options] [file]

DESCRIPTION


script makes a typescript of everything displayed on your terminal. It is useful for
students who need a hardcopy record of an interactive session as proof of an assignment,
as the typescript file can be printed out later with lpr(1).

If the argument file is given, script saves the dialogue in this file. If no filename is
given, the dialogue is saved in the file typescript.

OPTIONS


-a, --append
Append the output to file or to typescript, retaining the prior contents.

-c, --command command
Run the command rather than an interactive shell. This makes it easy for a script
to capture the output of a program that behaves differently when its stdout is not
a tty.

-e, --return
Return the exit code of the child process. Uses the same format as bash
termination on signal termination exit code is 128+n.

-f, --flush
Flush output after each write. This is nice for telecooperation: one person does
`mkfifo foo; script -f foo', and another can supervise real-time what is being done
using `cat foo'.

--force
Allow the default output destination, i.e. the typescript file, to be a hard or
symbolic link. The command will follow a symbolic link.

-q, --quiet
Be quiet (do not write start and done messages to either standard output or the
typescript file).

-t, --timing[=file]
Output timing data to standard error, or to file when given. This data contains
two fields, separated by a space. The first field indicates how much time elapsed
since the previous output. The second field indicates how many characters were
output this time. This information can be used to replay typescripts with
realistic typing and output delays.

-V, --version
Display version information and exit.

-h, --help
Display help text and exit.

NOTES


The script ends when the forked shell exits (a control-D for the Bourne shell (sh(1)), and
exit, logout or control-d (if ignoreeof is not set) for the C-shell, csh(1)).

Certain interactive commands, such as vi(1), create garbage in the typescript file.
script works best with commands that do not manipulate the screen, the results are meant
to emulate a hardcopy terminal.

It is not recommended to run script in non-interactive shells. The inner shell of script
is always interactive, and this could lead to unexpected results. If you use script in the
shell initialization file, you have to avoid entering an infinite loop. Use e. g. profile
file, which is read by login shells only:

if test -t 0 ; then
script
exit
fi

You should also avoid use of script in command pipes, as script can read more input than
you would expect.

ENVIRONMENT


The following environment variable is utilized by script:

SHELL If the variable SHELL exists, the shell forked by script will be that shell. If
SHELL is not set, the Bourne shell is assumed. (Most shells set this variable
automatically).
