.TH SCROTTY 1 SCROTTY .SH NAME scrotty \- Framebuffer screenshot program .SH SYNOPSIS .B scrotty .RI [ OPTION ]...\ [\-\-] .RI [ FILENAME_PATTERN ] .SH DESCRIPTION .B scrotty is a minimalist screenshoter for your framebuffers. It takes a screenshot of your TTY session. .B X is not supported. .PP .B scrotty is designed after .BR scrot (1), but includes a some improvements. Namely it does not support delaying the screenshot, selecting image quality or creating thumbnails. Such operations is left to be done by the user with the option .B \-\-exec and a utility such as .BR convert (1). .SH OPTIONS .TP .B \-h ,\ \-\-help Print usage information. .TP .B \-v ,\ \-\-version Print program name and version. .TP .B \-c ,\ \-\-copyright Print copyright information. .TP .B \-r ,\ \-\-raw Save in PNM rather than in PNG. .TP .BR \-e ,\ \-\-exec \ \fICMD\fP Command to run for each saved image. .SH "SPECIAL STRINGS" Both the .B \-\-exec and .I FILENAME_PATTERN parameters can take format specifiers that are expanded by .B scrotty when encountered. There are two types of format specifier. Characters preceded by a \(aq%\(aq are interpreted by .BR strftime (3). These options may be used to refer to the current date and time. The second kind are internal to .B scrotty and are prefixed by \(aq$\(aq or \(aq\\\(aq. The following specifiers are recognised: .PP $i framebuffer index .br $f image filename/pathname (ignored in FILENAME_PATTERN) .br $n image filename (ignored in FILENAME_PATTERN) .br $p image width multiplied by image height .br $w image width .br $h image height .br $$ expands to a literal \(aq$\(aq .br \\n expands to a new line .br \\\\ expands to a literal \(aq\\\(aq .br \\ expands to a literal \(aq \(aq (backslash, space) .PP A space that is not prefixed by a backslash in .B \-\-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. .SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS" Support for TTY:s in other kernels should be added. .SH RATIONALE Taking screenshots was a pain before this (except, .BR fbcat (1) already existed without the authors knowledge.). Screenshots are useful if you want to remember something or send an image of how something looks. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR scrot (1), .BR strftime (3), .BR convert (1), .BR fbcat (1), .BR setterm (1) .PP Full documentation available locally via: info \(aq(scrotty)\(aq .SH AUTHORS Principal author, Mattias Andrée.
