+@command{scrotty} recognises four options:
+
+@table @option
+@item --help
+Print usage information and exit.
+@item --version
+Print program name and version and exit.
+@item --copyright
+Print copyright information and exit.
+@item --raw
+Save the images in portable anymap format
+(PNM), rather than in Portable Network
+Graphics (PNG). If this option is used,
+and no arguments for @command{convert}
+is specified, @command{convert} will not
+be used, and there will be not requirement
+to have ImageMagick installed.
+
+PNM images are highly compressable with
+@command{bzip2}. Compressed images are comparable
+in size with @sc{PNG},@footnote{Usually a few
+bytes in difference.} and can in fact be smaller.
+@item --exec CMD
+Run a command for each saved image.
+@end table
+
+In addition to these options, a filename
+pattern, that does not start with a dash,
+can be added. This filename pattern selects
+with what filename the image should be saved.
+
+Further, it is possible add @option{--}
+followed by additional options to add when
+@command{scrotty} spawns @command{convert}.
+
+Both the @option{--exec} and filename pattern
+parameters can take format specifiers that are
+expanded by @command{scrotty} when encountered.
+There are two types of format specifier.
+Characters preceded by a `%' are interpreted
+by @code{strftime}. See @ref{strftime} or the
+manual for your implemenation of @command{strftime}
+for examples. These options may be used to refer
+to the current date and time. The second kind are
+internal to scrotty and are prefixed by `$' or
+`\'. The following specifiers are recognised:
+
+@table @asis
+@item `@code{$i}'
+Framebuffer index.
+@item `@code{$f}'
+Image filename/pathname.
+Ignored in the filename pattern.
+@item `@code{$n}'
+Image filename.
+Ignored in the filename pattern.
+@item `@code{$p}'
+Image width multiplied by image height.
+@item `@code{$w}'
+Image width.
+@item `@code{$h}'
+Image height.
+@item `@code{$$}'
+Expands to a literal `$'.
+@item `@code{\n}'
+Expands to new line.
+@item `@code{\\}'
+Expands to a literal `\'.
+@item `@code{\ }'
+Expands to a literal ` '.                                           
+@end table
+
+A space that is not prefixed by a backslash in
+@option{--exec} is interpreted as an argument
+delimiter. This is the case even at the beginning
+and end of the string and if a space was the
+previous character in the string.
+
+For example,
+@command{scrotty `%Y-%m-%d_$wx$h.$i.png` --exec 'cp $f ~/.backups/shots/'}
+create a file called something like @file{2014-10-28_1792x1344.0.png}
+for your first framebuffer and @file{2014-10-28_1792x1344.1.png} for
+your second framebuffer, and copies the saved images to @file{~/.backups/shots/}.

+
+@command{scrotty} is a simple command for taking a screenshot
+of your framebuffers. It can be used to take a screenshot of
+your @sc{TTY} session, but it cannot take a screenshot of your
+@sc{X} session.@footnote{Unless it is for some reason is
+rendered on the framebuffer.}
+
+@command{scrotty} is designed after @command{scrot}, 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 @command{convert} (from the ImageMagick project), which
+is used to save the image.
+
+@command{scrotty} reads the data stored in the framebuffers,
+convert it the @sc{PNM} images and pipes it to @command{convert}
+to create @sc{PNG} images.

+@node strftime
+@chapter @code{strftime}
+
+@command{scrotty} uses @code{strftime}, which
+implemented by the @sc{C} standard library (the
+@sc{GNU} @sc{C} Library for most @sc{GNU}/Linux
+user,) for formatting the filename or commands
+with information about the current date and time.
+If you are using the @sc{GNU} @sc{C} Library,
+full documentation is available in
+@ref{Formatting Calendar Time, Formatting Calendar Time, Formatting Calendar Time, libc, GNU C Library Application Fundamentals}.
+
+Assuming your have a @sc{POSIX}-compliant
+implementation of @code{strftime}, at least the
+following formatters are supported:
+
+@table @code
+@item %a
+The name of weekday in your locale, abbreviated.
+For example `Tue'.
+@item %A
+The name of weekday in your locale. For example
+`Tuesday'.
+@item %b
+@itemx %h
+The name of month in your locale, abbreviated.
+For example `Dec'.
+@item %B
+The name of month in your locale. For example
+`December.
+@item %c
+Your locale's representation for the date and
+time. For example `Tue 08 Dec 2015 09:40:34 CET'.
+@item %C
+The ``century'', or more precisely the year
+divided by 100 and trucated to an integer.
+Between year 2000 and 2099, inclusively, this
+will be `20'.
+@item %d
+The day of the month in two digits. For example,
+`08' during 8 of December.
+@item %D
+Equivalent to @code{%m/%d/%y}. For example
+@code{12/08/15} for 8 of December 2015.
+
+Be aware, this not what expect in most of the
+World, and its requires specialised sorting
+algorithms to be sorted properly. Be also
+aware, that this contains forward slashes, which
+is used as the file delimiter. This is a poor
+idea to use this for the filename. @code{%F}
+is a better choice.
+@item %e
+The day of the month. If only one digit is
+required, it is preceded by a space. For
+example, ` 8' during 8 of December.
+@item %F
+Equivalent to @code{%+4Y-%m-%d}. For example
+@code{2015-12-08} for 8 of December 2015.
+@item %g
+The last 2 digits of the week-based year.
+@item %G
+The week-based year.
+@item %H
+The hour in 24-hour clock format, 2 digits.
+@item %-H
+The hour in 24-hour clock format, as few digits as possible.
+@item %I
+The hour in 12-hour clock format, 2 digits.
+@item %-I
+The hour in 12-hour clock format, as few digits as possible.
+@item %j
+The day of the year in 3 digits.
+For example @code{342} for 8 of December 2015.
+@item %-j
+The day of the year in as few digits as possible.
+@item %m
+The month in 2 digits.
+For example @code{12} for 8 of December 2015.
+@item %-m
+The month in as few digits as possible.
+@item %M
+The minute in 2 digits.
+@item %n
+A new line.
+@item %p
+The locale's repesentation for either ante
+meridiem or post meridiem.
+@item %r
+The time in 12-hour notation. The behaviour
+is not completely specified. You will have
+to try it out. It will probably include
+the second and the timezone.
+@item %R
+The time, in minute resolution, in 24-hour
+notation.@footnote{Yes, this is barely similar to
+@code{%r}.}
+@item %S
+The second, in too digits. Currently leap-seconds
+are not supported, and @sc{POSIX} does not specify
+that double positive leap-seconds are
+possible@footnote{Probably because they are avoided.}.
+@item %t
+A tab space.
+@item %T
+Equivalent to @code{%H:%M:%S}.
+@item %u
+The weekday as a number, starting with Monday as 1.
+@item %U
+The week number of the year, 2 digits.
+The first Sunday of January is the first day of
+week 1. Week 0 is possible.
+@item %-U
+Equivalent to @code{-U}, except in as few digits
+as possible.
+@item %V
+The week number of the year, 2 digits.
+IF week containing 1 of January has at least four
+days in the new year, it is week 1. Week 0 is
+impossible.
+@item %-V
+Equivalent to @code{-V}, except in as few digits
+as possible.
+@item %w
+The weekday as a number, starting with Sunday as 0.
+@item %W
+The week number of the year, 2 digits.
+The first Monday of January is the first day of
+week 1. Week 0 is possible.
+@item %-W
+Equivalent to @code{-W}, except in as few digits
+as possible.
+@item %x
+The locale's representation of the date. This
+may be equivalent or similar to @code{%F} and
+thus a poor idea to use, if so.
+@item %X
+The locale's representation of the time.
+@item %y
+The last two digits in the year. (And at least two digits.)
+@item %Y
+The year with as many digits as necessary.
+@item %z
+The offset of the timezone from UTC. Either
+@code{+hhmm} or @code{-hhmm} (starts with a hyphen.)
+@item %Z
+The name of the timezone, abbreviation.
+@item %%
+A literal `%'.
+@end table
+
+Note, this is not all that @sc{POSIX} specifies,
+but it is the basics. @sc{POSIX} does not specify
+any support for 6-hour clocks, for Saturday as the
+first day of the week (or Tuesay through Friday,) or
+Sunday to be represented by 1 or Monday as 0. If you
+need any of these, you should look into the
+specifications for your @sc{C} standard libraries
+implementation of @code{strftime}, which may or may
+nor support this.
