Appendix B
X Windows System Screen Dump
Utility
B.1 Overview
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). The
tsiwd
utility is
installed in
/usr/X11R6/bin
directory.
B.2 Usage
The following is a description of the utility and its use:
prompt%
tsiwd [-debug] [-nodisplay] [-geometry
x,y,width, height] [-dev path] [-pcmap]
[-ppm | -bmp] [-imgfile filename]
The
tsiwd
utility saves the contents of an X Window (or
another region) and displays it on the screen. If the command
line argument
-imgfile
and the file name are provided, the
captured content is saved into a file.
By default
tsiwd
creates a new window and displays the
captured image in it. Specifying the "
–nodisplay
" option turns
off this feature. If the "
-pcmap
" option is specified, a private
colormap is used for the image display window. If this option is
not provided, the default colormap is used.
