It can be used to take a screenshot of -your Linux TTY session, but it cannot take a screenshot of -your 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 as supports 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 PNM images and pipes it to @command{convert} -to create PNG images. - - - -@node Invoking -@chapter Invoking - -@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 --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 interpretted -by @code{strftime}. See @command{man 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/}. - - - -@node GNU Free Documentation License -@appendix GNU Free Documentation License -@include fdl.texinfo - -@bye - -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
