  1. fbdump (captures the visible portion of framebuffer to stdout)
  2. fbdump is a simple tool that captures the contents of the visible
  3. portion of the Linux framebuffer device and writes it to the standard
  4. output as a PPM file. In other words, it takes a screenshot of
  5. anything running on the framebuffer. It currently has fairly complete
  6. support for packed-pixel framebuffer types and also works with the
  7. VGA16 framebuffer driver.
  8. To get a popular image format, issue a command like:
  9. fbdump | pnmtopng > shot.png
  10. Note: fbdump is rather slow on modern systems with high-resolution
  11. framebuffers at 32-bit color depth. On some systems, it takes several
  12. seconds to dump a 1920x1080x32 framebuffer. Be patient. Or use fbcat
  13. instead.
