maim

Maim is a command line tool used for taking screenshots on Linux systems. It is designed to be simple, fast, and efficient.

With maim, you can capture either the entire screen or a specific area by specifying the coordinates. This flexibility allows you to capture exactly what you need, whether it's a full-screen image or just a specific window.

Maim supports various output formats, such as PNG, JPEG, and PPM. You can choose the desired format by specifying the file extension of the output file.

Additionally, maim allows you to add a delay before capturing the screenshot, which can be useful for capturing transient content or time-limited displays.

Maim also supports taking screenshots of multiple displays simultaneously, making it convenient for systems with multiple monitors.

Lastly, maim can also be integrated with other command line tools, such as xclip or xargs, for further manipulation or automation of the captured screenshots.
