NAME
       script - Makes a transcript of terminal session

SYNOPSIS
       script [-a] [file]

       The  script  command  makes  a transcript of everything printed on your
       terminal.

OPTIONS
       Appends the transcript to file rather than writing it to file.

OPERANDS
       The name of an output file that will contain the transcript of the ses‐
       sion.  If this parameter is omitted, the file typescript is written.

DESCRIPTION
       The transcript is written to file, or appended to file if the -a option
       is given.  If no file name is given, the transcript  is	saved  in  the
       file typescript.

       The script ends when the forked shell exits.

       This  program  is  useful when you are using a CRT and want a hard-copy
       record of the dialog (for example, a technical writer might  create  an
       example of a working session this way).

       If  you	specify	 the -a option and the file does not exist, it is cre‐
       ated.

       If you do not specify  the  -a  option  and  the	 file  exists,	it  is
       replaced.

RESTRICTIONS
       The  script  command requires a streams based terminal.	In single user
       mode, streams may not be enabled.  Under	 these	circumstances,	script
       will  exit  with	 no  action.  If you are the superuser and need to run
       this command in single user mode, use the  following  special  instruc‐
       tions.

   Enabling Streams
       If  it  is necessary to enable a streams environment in the single user
       mode, enter the command /sbin/init.d/streams.  This command  is	avail‐
       able to the superuser only.
