Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility makes a typescript of everything printed 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
|
|
.Xr lpr 1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the argument
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
is given,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
saves all dialogue in
|
|
.Ar file .
|
|
If no file name is given, the typescript is saved in the file
|
|
.Pa typescript .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the argument
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
is given,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will run the specified command with an optional argument vector
|
|
instead of an interactive shell.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Append the output to
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa typescript ,
|
|
retaining the prior contents.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
When playing back a session with the
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
flag, do not sleep between records when playing back a timestamped session.
|
|
.It Fl F Ar pipe
|
|
Immediately flush output after each write.
|
|
This will allow a user to create a named pipe using
|
|
.Xr mkfifo 1
|
|
and another user may watch the live session using a utility like
|
|
.Xr cat 1 .
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Create
|
|
.Ar file.filemon
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa typescript.filemon
|
|
using
|
|
.Xr filemon 4 .
|
|
.It Fl k
|
|
Log keys sent to the program as well as output.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Play back a session recorded with the
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
flag in real time.
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Run in quiet mode, omit the start, stop and command status messages.
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Record a session with input, output, and timestamping.
|
|
.It Fl t Ar time
|
|
Specify the interval at which the script output file will be flushed
|
|
to disk, in seconds.
|
|
A value of 0
|
|
causes
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to flush after every character I/O event.
|
|
The default interval is
|
|
30 seconds.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The script ends when the forked shell (or command) exits (a
|
|
.Em control-D
|
|
to exit
|
|
the Bourne shell
|
|
.Pf ( Xr sh 1 ) ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Em exit ,
|
|
.Em logout
|
|
or
|
|
.Em control-D
|
|
(if
|
|
.Em ignoreeof
|
|
is not set) for the
|
|
C-shell,
|
|
.Xr csh 1 ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Certain interactive commands, such as
|
|
.Xr vi 1 ,
|
|
create garbage in the typescript file.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility works best with commands that do not manipulate the screen.
|
|
The results are meant to emulate a hardcopy terminal, not an addressable one.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
The following environment variables are utilized by
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width SHELL
|
|
.It Ev SCRIPT
|
|
The
|
|
.Ev SCRIPT
|
|
environment variable is added to the sub-shell.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ev SCRIPT
|
|
already existed in the users environment,
|
|
its value is overwritten within the sub-shell.
|
|
The value of
|
|
.Ev SCRIPT
|
|
is the name of the
|
|
.Ar typescript
|
|
file.
|
|
.It Ev SHELL
|
|
If the variable
|
|
.Ev SHELL
|
|
exists, the shell forked by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will be that shell.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ev SHELL
|
|
is not set, the Bourne shell
|
|
is assumed.
|
|
.Pq Most shells set this variable automatically .

|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command appeared in
|
|
.Bx 3.0 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl d ,
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
options first appeared in
|
|
.Nx 2.0
|
|
and were ported to
|
|
.Fx 9.2 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility places
|
|
.Sy everything
|
|
in the log file, including linefeeds and backspaces.
|
|
This is not what the naive user expects.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is not possible to specify a command without also naming the script file
|
|
because of argument parsing compatibility issues.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When running in
|
|
.Fl k
|
|
mode, echo cancelling is far from ideal.
|
|
The slave terminal mode is checked
|
|
for ECHO mode to check when to avoid manual echo logging.
|
|
This does not
|
|
work when the terminal is in a raw mode where
|
|
the program being run is doing manual echo.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reads zero bytes from the terminal, it switches to a mode when it
|
|
only attempts to read
|
|
once a second until there is data to read.
|
|
This prevents
|
|
.Nm
|
|
from spinning on zero-byte reads, but might cause a 1-second delay in
|
|
processing of user input.
