C.1 Overview

C.1.1 TSI Screen Capture Utility


tsiwd is a utility that dumps the contents of portions of the X
Window screen to a file. It stores the data in a graphics file
format that uses 24-bit lossless compression. This utility differs
from xwd in that tsiwd captures the data/contents from up to 32-
bit planes, including the contents of layers created through the
Multiple Overlay eXtension (MOX).

filename

The tsiwd utility saves the contents of an X window (or other
region) to "filename".

The utility has two basic modes of operation: window capture
and region capture. To capture the contents of a particular
window, run tsiwd without the geometry argument. The cursor
will change shape to resemble a cross, at which point the user
can left-click on the window he/she desires to capture. Selecting
the root window in this manner will capture the entire screen's
contents.
