.Nm

|
|
.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
|
|
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 10.0 .
|
|
.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.
