NAME
       script - make typescript of terminal session

SYNOPSIS
       script [ -a ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION
       Script  makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal.  The
       typescript is written to file, or appended to file if the -a option  is
       given.   It can be sent to the line printer later with lpr.  If no file
       name is given, the typescript is saved in the file typescript.

       The script ends when the forked shell exits.

       This program is useful when using a crt and a hard-copy record  of  the
       dialog  is  desired,  as  for  a  student handing in a program that was
       developed on a crt when hard-copy terminals are in short supply.

BUGS
       Script places everything in the log file.  This is not what  the  naive
       user expects.
