SYNOPSIS
========

fbdump [*-fb <device>*] [*-vt <terminal>*] [*-delay <sec>*]

DESCRIPTION
===========

fbdump is a simple tool that captures the contents of the visible portion
of the Linux framebuffer device and writes it to the standard output as
a PPM file. In other words, it takes a screenshot of anything running on
the framebuffer. It currently has fairly complete support for packed-pixel
framebuffer types and also works with the VGA16 framebuffer driver.

OPTIONS
=======

**-fb** *device*
            Path to the framebuffer device to dump. Default: */dev/fb0*.

**-vt** *terminal*
            Bring virtual terminal number *terminal* to the foreground before dumping.
            Default: dump current foreground terminal.

**-delay** *sec*
            Wait *sec* seconds before dumping. Default: dump immediately.

--help
            Display usage and exit.

EXAMPLES
========

To dump the framebuffer as a PNG image:

  fbdump | pnmtopng > grab.png
