NAME

snapshot - make a snapshot of the terminal screen into a file

SYNOPSIS

snapshot [ -s start ] [ -e end ] destfile
snapshot -l

DESCRIPTION

Snapshot makes a copy of the terminal screen (optionally, only certain lines of it; see below) in the specified file. It strips any trailing spaces from the end of each line.

Options:

-s start: use start as the starting line instead of the default (usually 0 or 1).
-e end: use end as the ending line instead of the default (usually 24).
-l: list the known terminal types

BUGS

Only works on certain terminals. Also, the last character in 80-column wide lines is replaced with a newline so that the file can be easily edited.
