NAME
       script - make typescript of terminal session

SYNOPSIS
       script [ -a ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION
       Script  makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal.  The typescript is written to file, or appended to file if the -a option
       is given.  It can be sent to the line printer later with lpr.  If no file name is given, the typescript is saved in the file typescript.

       The script ends when the forked shell exits.

       This program is useful when using a crt and a hard-copy record of the dialog is desired, as for a student handing in  a	program  that  was
       developed on a crt when hard-copy terminals are in short supply.

BUGS
       Script places everything in the log file.  This is not what the naive user expects.
