One way to record the input to Emacs precisely is to write a dribble
file. To start the file, use the @kbd{M-x open-dribble-file
@key{RET}} command. From then on, Emacs copies all your input to the
-specified dribble file until the Emacs process is killed.

You close the dribble file by calling this function with an argument
