scrot

Scrot is a command line tool for capturing screenshots in Linux systems. It is a robust and lightweight tool that provides a simple way to take screenshots on the command line. Scrot allows users to capture the entire screen or a specific area of the screen by specifying the coordinates. It can be executed from the terminal or integrated into scripts for automation purposes. Scrot offers various options to customize the screenshot, such as setting a delay before capturing, providing a thumbnail version, or including the mouse pointer in the screenshot. The captured screenshots are saved in the specified directory, with the option to automatically generate a unique file name or specify a custom name. Scrot is widely used by Linux users and is often included in default installations of Linux distributions.
