DESCRIPTION
NOTE:
The
Screenshot
command is legacy and is replaced by the
ScreenshotTray
command. However, the legacy command is currently not
removed from the package to continue operations.
---
Create a full screen shot of a certain monitor referenced
by the monitor number.
The created screen shot file is automatically saved to the
var/db/screenshot/

hotkeyp(1)
or
pstart(1)
to quickly create screen shots for example during screen
presentations.
