NAME
scrotty - Screenshot program for Linux's TTY.
SYNOPSIS
scrotty [OPTION]... [FILENAME_PATTERN] [-- CONVERT_OPTION...]
DESCRIPTION
scrotty is a minimalist screenshoter for the Linux VT. It takes
a screenshot of your framebuffers (multiple are supported.)
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, but it has
support for adding arbitrary arguments to convert(1), which is
used to save the image.
OPTIONS
--help
Print usage information.
--version
Print program name and version.
--copyright
Print copyright information.
--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 interpretted 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 the TTY of other kernels should be added.
RATIONALE
Taking screenshots was a pain before this. Screenshots
are useful if you want to remember something or send an
image of how something looks.
