spectacle: Capture a screenshot of a specific region.
$ spectacle --region
try on your machine

The command "spectacle --region" refers to a specific command-line instruction to run the "spectacle" application with the "--region" option.

Spectacle is a screen capture and screenshot application for Linux systems that allows users to take screenshots or record a specific region of their screen. The "--region" option tells the Spectacle application to capture only a specific region of the screen that the user defines.

When executing the "spectacle --region" command, the Spectacle application will typically open, allowing the user to select the desired region on their screen using a mouse. Once the region is selected, Spectacle will capture the screen within that region and provide various options like saving the captured image, copying it to the clipboard, or editing it further.
