fbdump (captures the visible portion of framebuffer to stdout)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
To get a popular image format, issue a command like:
|
|
|
|
fbdump | pnmtopng > shot.png
|
|
|
|
Note: fbdump is rather slow on modern systems with high-resolution
|
|
framebuffers at 32-bit color depth. On some systems, it takes several
|
|
seconds to dump a 1920x1080x32 framebuffer. Be patient. Or use fbcat
|
|
instead.
