✨ pekwm_screenshot ✨

okay bestie, buckle up, because we're doing the pekwm_sreenshot page (yes that's the manual name, no I will not be taking questions πŸ’…). it's giving very short, very sweet, very "just take the picture already" energy and honestly? we love that for us.


🌸 NAME 🌸

pekwm_screenshot β€” a simple screenshot application 🫢

like, no drama, no bloat, just vibes and a screenshot. periodt.


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

pekwm_screenshot [--display] [output.png]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so pekwm_screenshot is a simple screenshot application that ships bundled together with pekwm. they're a package deal, iykyk. πŸ’–

run it with zero arguments and it will drop an image right into the current directory named:

pekwm_screenshot-YYMMDDTHHMMSS-WIDTHxHEIGHT.png

where WIDTH and HEIGHT correspond to the size of the display. so like, it timestamps itself and tells you how big your screen was. self-documenting queen behavior, lowkey iconic. πŸ‘‘

and if you do give it a file name? bestie, it uses that file name as is, with no processing supported. no renaming, no fancy business, no main-character rework of your string. you said the name, it respects the name. as it should. ✨


πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

  • --help β€” shows help information. when in doubt, ask the program politely. πŸ™ˆ
  • --display DISPLAY β€” connect to DISPLAY instead of the DISPLAY that's set in the environment. you know. if you're feeling spicy and want a different screen. πŸ”₯
  • --wait β€” the number of seconds to wait before taking the screenshot. it's the "hold still, i'm not ready yet" flag. πŸ˜­πŸ“Έ

heads up bestie: the original page says --wait with no argument placeholder spelled out, so i'm not gonna invent one. the text just says "seconds to wait before taking screenshot." that's all we got, and we're keeping it fr fr.

⭐ a lil sign-off ⭐

this page is pekwm_sreenshot, from the User Manual, and it's dated February 2021. that's the source, that's the version, that's the tea. πŸ“

and uhhh, one tiny thing before you go β€” the header and footer both spell it pekwm_sreenshot, while the NAME section spells it pekwm_screenshot. not me noticing πŸ‘€. we keep all the details here, typos included, because that's the whole point. πŸ’œπŸ§š

now go take a screenshot. slay. πŸ“Έβœ¨
