SCRIPT(1)                                 User Commands                                 SCRIPT(1)



NAME
       script - make typescript of terminal session

SYNOPSIS
       script [options] [file]

DESCRIPTION
       script  makes  a typescript of everything printed on your terminal.  It is useful for stu-
       dents 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 all dialogue in file.  If no file name is
       given, the typescript is saved in the file typescript.

OPTIONS
       -a, --append
              Append the output to file or 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  termina-
              tion 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.

       -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 realis-
              tic typing and output delays.

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

       -h, --help
              Output help and exit.

NOTES
       The script ends when the forked shell exits (a control-D to exit 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.

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).

SEE ALSO
       csh(1) (for the history mechanism), scriptreplay(1).

HISTORY
       The script command appeared in 3.0BSD.

BUGS
       Script places everything in the log file, including linefeeds and backspaces.  This is not
       what the naive user expects.

AVAILABILITY
       The script command is part of the util-linux package and is available  from  Linux  Kernel
       Archive <ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/>.
