🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically: it connects to a VNC server and captures the screen, and it can do that one time or multiple times (that's what [numcaptures] is for, the way that it just keeps going 💅).

the output gets written to something like snapshot0001.png. the number in there is the sequence of captures, and the extension is whatever you told --type to be. lowkey elegant, honestly.

and --type? bestie, it can be any format that Image::Imlib2 can support. any. go feral. 🌈
