Description

Captures screenshots from the command line on X11 desktops, making it useful for scripts, timed captures, lightweight environments, and automated visual records. Users can capture the whole screen, windows, or selected regions depending on options.

Because it saves exactly what is visible, screenshots may contain private windows, file names, messages, or account details. Review output before sharing or using it in automated uploads.
