No it doesn't. The script(1) utility interposes a
pseudo-terminal between the program whose output is to be
captured and itself, so the program thinks its running on a
terminal device and behaves accordingly. Then script(1) acts
like a transparent filter, shuttling data back-and-forth from the
actual terminal to the pseudo-terminal, while sending a copy of
the program's output to the log file as well. It is the terminal
driver in canonical mode, "inside" the pseudo-terminal, that is
expanding NLs in the proggy's output stream into CRNL pairs.
