Boris is correct about what I was referring to. But I'm not sure if you misinterpreted me or not.

See https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?script(1) , which describes script via:

   The script utility makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal.

Having such a log file around after the build attempt allows reviewing for more than success vs. failure status. Even success can be reviewed for warnings.
