While working with Valgrind tool, i need to log the details produced by valgrind tool. How can I accomplish that? I tried something like,

 valgrind a.out | test

and

 valgrind a.out > test

It gave just the program's output and not the valgrind memory error,leak information. Even i am getting like this if the program requires no user interaction (i.e. giving input). If the program need user input even that thing itself won't work.

How can I do this?
