.SH "NAME"
.LP
vncsnapshot \- grab snapshots from VNC servers
.SH "SYNTAX"
.LP
vncsnapshot [\fIoptions\fP] \fIhost\fP:\fIdisplay\fP \fIPNG\-file\fP
.br
vncsnapshot [\fIoptions\fP] \-listen \fIlocal\-display\fP \fIPNG\-file\fP
.br
vncsnapshot [\fIoptions\fP] \-tunnel \fIhost\fP:\fIdisplay\fP \fIPNG\-file\fP
.br
vncsnapshot [\fIoptions\fP] \-via \fIgateway\fP \fIhost\fP:\fIdisplay\fP \fIPNG\-file\fP
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.LP
VNC Snapshot is a command\-line program for VNC. It will save a PNG image of the VNC server's screen.
.LP
This manual page documents version 1.3 of vncsnapshot-png.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.LP
.TP
\fB\-allowblank\fR
Allow blank (all black) images as snapshots. See \fB-ignoreblank\fP.
\fB\-compresslevel\fR \fIlevel\fP
Compress network messages to level, if the server supports it. level is between 0 and 9, with 0 being no compression
and 9 the maximum. The default is 4.
.TP
\fB\-cursor\fR
Include the cursor in snapshots. Only effective if the remote server is a
TightVNC version; otherwise ignored.
.TP
\fB\-encodings\fR \fIlist\fP
Use the given encodings. The default is
.br
\ "copyrect tight hextile zlib corre rre"
.br
or
.br
\ "raw copyrect tight hextile zlib corre rre"
.br
when VNC snapshot and the server are on the same machine.
.TP
\fB\-ignoreblank\fR
Ignore blank (all black) screens; do not save the screen until a screen that
is not all black is received. This is useful with some servers that send an
initial all-black screen before sending the actual screen. This is the
default.
.TP
\fB\-jpeg\fR
Request the remote server to use JPEG-style encoding when sending the image,
if possible. Currently only supported by TightVNC (and servers derived from
it).
.TP
\fB\-nocursor\fR
Do not include the cursor in snapshots. Only effective if the remote server is a
TightVNC version; otherwise ignored. This is the default.
.TP
\fB\-nojpeg\fR
Request the remote server to \fBnot\fP use JPEG-style encoding when sending the image,
if possible. Currently only supported by TightVNC (and servers derived from
it). This is the default.
.TP
\fB\-listen\fR \fIlocal-display\fP
Do not connect to a server; wait for the server to
connect to the specified local "display". Cannot be used with \fB\-tunnel\fP or \fB\-via\fP options.
.TP
\fB\-passwd\fR \fIfilename\fP
Read encrypted password from \fIfilename\fP instead of from the console. The
password file can be generated with the vncpasswd utility included with many
VNC viewers.
.TP
\fB\-quiet
Do not print any messages. Opposite of \fB-verbose\fP.
.TP
\fB\-rect \fIw\fPx\fIh\fP+\fIx\fP+\fIy\fP
Save a sub-rectangle of the screen, width \fIw\fP height \fIh\fP
offset from the left by \fIx\fP and the top by \fIy\fP.
A negative number for \fIx\fP or \fIy\fP makes it an
offset from the opposite edge.
A zero value for the width or height makes the snapshot extend
to the right or bottom of the screen, respectively.
The default is the entire screen.
.TP
\fB\-tunnel\fR
Connect to the remote server via an SSH tunnel.
Cannot be used with \fB\-listen\fP or \fB\-via\fP options.
.TP
\fB\-via\fR \fIgateway\fP
Connect to the remote server via an SSH tunnel on the host
\fIgateway\fP.
Cannot be used with \fB\-listen\fP or \fB\-tunnel\fP options.
.TP
\fB\-verbose
Print messages; default.
.TP
\fB\-vncQuality \fIquality\fP
Use the specified image quality level (0-9) for
tight encoding. The default is 9. Only effective if the remote server is a
TightVNC version; otherwise ignored.
.TP
\fB\-count \fInumber\fP
Take \fInumber\fP snapshots; default 1. If greater than 1,
vncsnapshot will insert a five-digit sequence number just before
the output file's extension; i.e. if you specify \fBout.jpeg\fP
as the output file, it will create \fBout00001.jpeg\fP, \fBout00002.jpeg\fP,
and so forth
.TP
\fB\-fps \fIrate\fP
When taking multiple snapshots, take them every \fIrate\fP seconds; default 60.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.TP
vncsnapshot anhk-morpork:1 unseen.jpg
Get a snapshot of screen 1 from the server \fBahnk-morpork\fP
and save it in \fBunseen.jpg\fP. The entire screen is saved; the
default transport is used.
.TP
vncsnapshot \-listen 0 portrait.jpeg
Wait for a server to connect to this host (using "screen" 0),
and then save the full screen image in \fBportrait.jpeg\fP.
.TP
vncsnapshot \-passwd ~/.vnc/passwd \-rect 640x0+120+30 :1 subarea.jpeg
Using \fB~/.vnc/passwd\fP to get the server's password,
connect to screen 1 on the local machine and save a rectangle 640 pixels
high and extending to the right edge, offset 120 pixels from the left
and 30 pixels down.
.TP
vncsnapshot \-rect 0x0\-800\-600 :1 pict.jpeg
Get a snapshot that is 800 pixels from the right edge and 600 pixels
from the bottom of the screen. It will extend to the screen edges,
making it 800x600. Alternatively, the rectangle could be given as
\fB-rect 800x600-0-0\fP, which specifies the same region.
