     screencapture -- capture images from the screen and save them to a file or the clipboard

     -C      Capture the cursor as well as the screen.	Only allowed in non-interactive modes.

     -i      Capture screen interactively, by selection or window.  The control key will cause the screen shot to go to the clipboard.	The space
	     key will toggle between mouse selection and window selection modes.  The escape key will cancel the interactive screen shot.

     -m      Only capture the main monitor, undefined if -i is set.

     -M      Open the taken picture in a new Mail message.

     -o      In window capture mode, do not capture the shadow of the window.

     -P      Open the taken picture in a Preview window.

     -s      Only allow mouse selection mode.

     -S      In window capture mode, capture the screen instead of the window.

BUGS

     Better documentation is needed for this utility.

     PID=pid of loginwindow
     sudo launchctl bsexec $PID screencapture [options]

     A screencapture utility first appeared in Mac OS X v10.2.
