Games Manual, section 6 — yes bestie, we're in the games corner of the manual, and it's giving very specific screenshot energy. 🎮✨

✨ NAME ✨

grab_cgoban — take a snapshot of a cgoban board 📸

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

grab_cgoban [ filename.gif ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so real talk: this is a shell script, and its whole main-character moment is finding a cgoban window, grabbing the Go board that's showing on screen, and saving it as a GIF file. 💅

It can use imagemagick or pbmplus to convert the image to GIF. Lowkey iconic of it. ✨

But bestie, if it can't find either of those? It doesn't just give up — it saves it as an XWD image instead. And in that case it will add the extension .xwd to the filename you supplied. So if you said filename.gif, you're getting filename.gif.xwd vibes. Not a drill. 🫠

⚠️ No imagemagick? No pbmplus? Then it's XWD o'clock, and it's adding .xwd to your filename. Periodt. Don't act surprised. 💀
