|
|
|
|
|
.Nm Script
|
|
|
|
|
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 .

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 .

The script ends when the forked shell exits (a

|
|

|

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.
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm Script
|
|
|
|
|
works best with commands that do not manipulate the
|
|
|
|
|
screen, the results are meant to emulate a hardcopy
|
|
|
|
|
terminal.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
|
|
|
The following environment variable is utilized by
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm script :
|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width SHELL
|
|
|
|
|
.It Ev SHELL
|
|
|
|
|
If the variable
|
|
|
|
|
.Ev SHELL
|
|
|
|
|
exists, the shell forked by
|

|
|
|
.Nm
|
1994-05-27 12:33:43 +00:00
|
|
|
will be that shell. If
|
|
|
|
|
.Ev SHELL
|
|
|
|
|
is not set, the Bourne shell
|
|
|
|
|
is assumed. (Most shells set this variable automatically).
