## Description

## Options

`&p;` accepts the following options:

`-c `N``

- Grab the `/dev/ttyN` virtual terminal.

  This option might require root privileges (or `CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG` capability).

`-C `N``

- Switch to the `/dev/ttyN` virtual terminal, then wait a few seconds before grabbing it.

  This option might require root privileges (or `CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG` capability).

`-d `fb-device``

  By default, the device name is taken from the `FRAMEBUFFER` environment variable. If it is unset or empty, the default is `/dev/fb0`.

`-i`

- Enable PNG interlacing.

`-s `N``

- Sleep `N` seconds before making the screenshot or switching virtual terminals.

`-?`

- Display help and exit.
