Details

Summary

script -r is useful for recording time-stamps of when output
happened. With -T, rather than playback the script in real-time
we simply print the time-stamps to show when the output happened.

This is very useful for example, for analyzing boot time activity.

If the fmt provided contains no % characters the default
%n@ %s [%Y-%m-%d %T]
is used, which lends itself to analysis by tools as well as humans.

That %n forces a newline, yes? To ensure that the timestamp line starts with e.g.

@1646858622 [2022-03-09 12:43:42]

even if the preceding line was incomplete and didn't include a newline?

This should go in the 2nd section of the synopsis with -p shouldn't it? You don't use -T while recording, only while playing back

45–46

This is where -T would go I think, since it implies -p anyway

Yes, the -r data may be single char at a time so you want a newline before each time-stamp for a readable result. Eg.

$ script -T - /tmp/tboot.log | head
