SYNOPSIS

10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen.
14       The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the record
15       is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.

17
18       The  script  command  forks  and  creates a sub-shell, according to the
19       value of $SHELL, and records the text from  this  session.  The  script
20       ends when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
21

OPTIONS

23       The following option is supported:
24
25       -a    Appends  the  session record to filename, rather than overwriting
26             it.

NOTES

30       script places everything  that  appears  on  the  screen  in  filename,
31       including prompts.

WARNINGS

51       script  can  pose  a  security  risk  when used in directories that are
52       writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run  by  a
