The command "gnome-screenshot --interactive" is used in the GNOME desktop environment to capture screenshots of the user's screen.
When executed, the command opens a dialog window that allows the user to interactively select the area to be captured. The options typically include capturing the entire screen, a particular window, or a specific section of the screen by drawing a rectangle around it.
By including the "--interactive" flag, the command initiates the interactive mode, enabling the user to select the desired screen area before capturing the screenshot.
