The command you've provided is a command-line instruction that uses the 'grim' command. Here's a breakdown of its components:
-
grim
: This is the command itself, which is a part of the Sway/Wayland screenshotting toolset. It captures screenshots in a Wayland session. -
-g
: This option is used to specify the geometry or position and dimensions of the area you want to capture on the screen. -
"${<x_position>,<y_position> <width>x<height>}"
: This is the format in which you provide the geometry argument. It consists of the x and y position of the top-left corner of the area you want to capture, followed by the width and height of the area.
To use this command, you need to replace <x_position>
, <y_position>
, <width>
, and <height>
with actual numerical values. For example, if you want to capture an area starting from the top-left corner at coordinates (100, 200) and having a width of 800 pixels and a height of 600 pixels, you would use:
grim -g "100,200 800x600"
This command will capture a screenshot of the specified area on your screen.
