Newbie question - How do I get a full transcript?

Newbie question - How do I get a full transcript?

[Tim Halliday]

I've got a C application which I've bound Guile into. I want to generate a
complete transcript of everything that the user enters, or Guile displays
during the session.

I've tried specifying hooks for before-print-hook and before-eval-hook, but
that doesn't seem to get me everything like Guile generated error messages.

Is there a better way to go about this?

Thanks

Interesting question.  I don't think there's any simple way.  For a
transcript of output you can create a new output that acts like `tee':

(define (fork-port . ports)
  (make-soft-port 
    (vector
      (lambda (c)
        (for-each (lambda (port)
                    (write c port))
                  ports))
      (lambda (s)
        (for-each (lambda (port)
                    (display s port))
                  ports))
      (lambda ()
        (for-each force-output ports))
      #f
      (lambda ()
        (for-each close-port ports)))
    "w"))

(let ((transcript (open-output-file "transcript")))
  (set-current-output-port (fork-port (current-output-port) transcript))
  (set-current-error-port (fork-port (current-error-port) transcript)))

Input is trickier because of readline.

Neil,

Thanks. You suggestion pointed me down a fruitful path. I'm not using
readline at the moment, so I can get away with the following.

-tim



(define (fork-out-port stdPort transPort )
   (make-soft-port
     (vector
       (lambda (c)
          ( write c stdPort )
          ( write c transPort )
          ( force-output transPort ) )
       (lambda (s)
          ( display s stdPort )
          ( display s transPort )
          ( force-output transPort ) )
       (lambda ()
          ( force-output stdPort )
          ( force-output transPort ) )
       (lambda () #f )
       (lambda ()
          ( close-port stdPort )
          ( close-port transPort ) )
     )
     "w"
))

(define (fork-in-port stdPort transPort )
   (make-soft-port
     (vector
       (lambda (c) #f)
       (lambda (s) #f)
       (lambda () #f)
       (lambda ()
         (define c (read-char stdPort ) )
         (display c transPort )
         c )
       (lambda ()
          ( close-port stdPort )
          ( close-port transPort ) )
     )
     "rw"
))

(let ((transcript (open-output-file "transcript")))
   (set-current-output-port (fork-out-port (current-output-port) transcript))
   (set-current-error-port (fork-out-port (current-error-port) transcript))
   (set-current-input-port (fork-in-port (current-input-port) transcript)))

Does "screen" do this?
