SCREENDUMP(1)  —  Kubota Pacfic Computer Inc. (User Commands)

NAME

screendump − dump the screen display

SYNOPSIS

screendump [ −n ]

DESCRIPTION

screendump captures the display and outputs an image file to standard output.  This image file may be output to the Tektronix printer through the lp(1) command using printer “TEK”.

screendump knows all about pseudo and true color and double buffer windows, and captures the screen as it appears to the user.  Use xwd(1) to capture an individual window.

By default, screendump compresses the output image using a simple run-length encoding scheme.  This compression may be suppressed with the −n switch. 

WARNING

An uncompressed screendump is nearly 4 megabytes large.
