maim: Capture a screenshot of the selected region.
$ maim --select ${path-to-screenshot-png}
try on your machine
This command is using the "maim" utility to capture a screenshot and save it as a PNG image.
Here is an explanation of each part of the command:
- "maim" is the name of the utility or command-line tool used for taking screenshots.
- "--select" is an option provided by "maim" that allows the user to select an area on the screen to capture.
- "${path-to-screenshot-png}" is a placeholder indicating the path where the screenshot will be saved as a PNG file. You need to replace it with the actual path on your system.
So, when you run this command with the appropriate path to a screenshot PNG file, "maim" will allow you to select an area on the screen, capture it, and save the screenshot as a PNG file at the specified path.
