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.
