NAME

       grim - grab images from a Wayland compositor

DESCRIPTION

       grim [options...] [output-file]

SYNOPSIS

       grim is a command-line utility to take screenshots of Wayland desktops. For now it
       requires support for the screencopy protocol to work. Support for the xdg-output protocol
       is optional, but improves fractional scaling support.

       grim will write an image to output-file, or to a timestamped file name in
       $GRIM_DEFAULT_DIR if not specified. If $GRIM_DEFAULT_DIR is not set, it defaults to
       $XDG_PICTURES_DIR. If output-file is -, grim will output the image to the standard output
       instead.

OPTIONS

       -h
           Show help message and quit.

       -s <factor>
           Set the output image's scale factor to factor. By default, the scale factor is set to
           the highest of all outputs.

       -g "<x>,<y> <width>x<height>"
           Set the region to capture, in layout coordinates.

           If set to -, read the region from the standard input instead.

       -t <type>
           Set the output image's file format to type. By default, the filetype is set to png,
           valid values are png, jpeg or ppm.

       -q <quality>
           Set the output jpeg's filetype compression rate to quality. By default, the jpeg
           quality is 80, valid values are between 0-100.

       -o <output>
           Set the output name to capture.

       -c
           Include cursors in the screenshot.
