NAME
scrotty 2.0-dev - Framebuffer screenshot program
SYNOPSIS
scrotty [OPTION]... [--] [FILENAME_PATTERN]
DESCRIPTION
scrotty is a minimalist screenshoter for your framebuffers.
It takes a screenshot of your TTY session. X is not supported.
scrotty is designed after scrot(1), but includes a some
improvements. Namely it does not support delaying the screenshot,
selecting image quality or creating thumbnails. That is left
to be done by the user with the option --exec and a a utility
such as convert(1).
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Print usage information.
-v, --version
Print program name and version.
-c, --copyright
Print copyright information.
-e, --exec CMD
Command to run for each saved image.
SPECIAL STRINGS
Both the --exec and FILENAME_PATTERN parameters can take format
specifiers that are expanded by scrotty when encountered. There
are two types of format specifier. Characters preceded by a '%'
are interpreted by strftime(3). These options may be used to
refer to the current date and time. The second kind are internal
to scrotty and are prefixed by '$' or '\'. The following specifiers
are recognised:
$i framebuffer index
$f image filename/pathname (ignored in FILENAME_PATTERN)
$n image filename (ignored in FILENAME_PATTERN)
$p image width multiplied by image height
$w image width
$h image height
$$ expands to a literal '$'
\n expands to a new line
\\ expands to a literal '\'
\ expands to a literal ' ' (backslash, space)
A space that is not prefixed by a backslash in --exec is
interpreted as an argument delimiter. This is the case even at
the beginning and end of the string and if a space was the
previous character in the string.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Support for TTY:s in other kernels should be added.
RATIONALE
Taking screenshots was a pain before this (except, fbcat
already existed without my knowledge.) Screenshots
are useful if you want to remember something or send an
image of how something looks.
