diary — Log File
The diary
function writes a log of whatever happens in the current
session after the diary
function is called. Both user
input and program responses are written to the file specified by the
string argument, or to the default diary file ./DIARY
, if
no argument is supplied.
When the file is opened, a string containing the name of the diary
file and the date and time are written out to the diary file. Invoking
diary
a second time with no arguments will close the currently
opened diary file. At most one diary file may be in use at any one time.
