5.1.95 monitor

Syntax:

monitor ( link_expression )
monitor ( link_expression, string_expression )

Type:

none

Purpose:

controls the recording of all user input and/or program output into a file. The second argument describes what to log: "i" means input, "o" means output, "io" for both.
The default for the second argument is "i".
Each monitor command closes a previous monitor file and opens the file given by the first string expression.
monitor ("") turns off recording.

Example:

monitor("doe.tmp","io"); // log input and output to doe.tmp ring r; poly f=x+y+z; int i=7; ideal I=f,x,y; monitor(""); // stop logging: // doe.tmp contains now all input and output from the example above
