NAME

       fbgrab - takes a screenshot using the framebuffer device

SYNOPSIS

       fbgrab [option...] png-file

       fbgrab -?

DESCRIPTION

       fbgrab is a wrapper around fbcat which emulates the behaviour of Gunnar Monell's fbgrab utility.

OPTIONS

       fbgrab accepts the following options:

       -c N
	   Grab the /dev/ttyN virtual terminal.

	       Note
	       This option might require root privileges (or CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG capability).

       -C N
	   Switch to the /dev/ttyN virtual terminal, then wait a few seconds before grabbing it.

	       This option might require root privileges (or CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG capability).

       -d fb-device

       -s N
	   Sleep N seconds before making the screenshot or switching virtual terminals.
