NAME
       script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS
       script [-a] [filename]

DESCRIPTION
       The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen.
       The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the record
       is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.

       The  script  command  forks  and	 creates a sub-shell, according to the
       value of $SHELL, and records the text from  this	 session.  The	script
       ends when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.

OPTIONS
       The following option is supported:

       -a
	     Appends  the  session record to filename, rather than overwriting
	     it.

NOTES
       script places everything	 that  appears	on  the	 screen	 in  filename,
       including prompts.

WARNINGS
       script  can  pose  a  security  risk  when used in directories that are
       writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run	 by  a
       privileged  user,  that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link
       before running script.
