script —
| script | [ -adfpqr] [-ccommand] [file] | 
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 lpr(1).
If the argument file is given,
    script saves all dialogue in
    file. If no file name is given, the typescript is
    saved in the file typescript.
Option:
-a-c
    command-d-p flag,
      don't sleep between records when playing back a timestamped session.-f-p-r flag in
      real time.-q-rThe script ends when the forked shell exits (a control-D to exit the Bourne shell (sh(1)), and exit, logout or control-d (if ignoreeof is not set) for the C-shell, csh(1)).
Certain interactive commands, such as
    vi(1), create garbage in the
    typescript file. script works best with commands
    that do not manipulate the screen, the results are meant to emulate a
    hardcopy terminal.

SHELLSHELL exists, the shell forked by
      script will be that shell. If
      SHELL is not set, the Bourne shell is assumed.

  file, including linefeeds and backspaces. This is not what the naive user
  expects.
