SCRIPT(1)               COMMAND REFERENCE               SCRIPT(1)



NAME
     script - make typescript of terminal session

SYNOPSIS
     script [ -a ] [ -ec ] [ -u ] [ -8 ] [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     The script command makes a typescript of everything printed
     on your terminal. The typescript (also called the log) is
     written to the files, or appended to the files if the -a
     option is given. If you don't specify a file name, the
     typescript is saved in the file typescript.

     The script command begins by executing the shell specified
     in your SHELL environment variable (/bin/sh if SHELL is not
     set).  The typescript ends when you log out of the shell.

     You can send commands directly to script by beginning a line
     with the command character (~ by default). These commands
     and their output are not put in the typescript files.
     Commands script recognizes are:

          ~l   Toggle logging off/on.
          ~^Z  Temporarily suspend script (csh only).
          ~?   Print a list of script commands.
          ~~   A single tilde.

OPTIONS
     -a Output is appended to the output files.

     -ec
        Set the command character to be the c character.

     -u Output is unbuffered to each output file which is a
        device.  This is useful for reflecting an interactive
        session to one or more slave terminals.

     -8 Use 8-bit characters.  You lose flow control with this
        option (Ctrl S and Ctrl Q) but you gain the ability to
        transfer 8-bit data.  Typically this is used when your
        terminal sends 8 bit graphical data in response to
        commands from the host.

EXAMPLES
     The following example appends the output from script to the
     file outfile.

          script  -a  outfile

     The following example changes the script command character
     to the % character. Output is put in the file named
     typescript.
