3 432335a8 2022-02-21 op sshot is a simple script to make a screenshot!

9 1ac9fd60 2022-02-21 op Did you know that getopts is a built-in? The first version of this
10 1ac9fd60 2022-02-21 op script used getopt, but it was ugly and required some shell features
11 1ac9fd60 2022-02-21 op which I'm not sure are POSIX. getopts is easier to handle:
12 1ac9fd60 2022-02-21 op
13 432335a8 2022-02-21 op while getopts s name; do
14 432335a8 2022-02-21 op case $name in
15 432335a8 2022-02-21 op s) select=1 ;;
16 432335a8 2022-02-21 op ?) echo "Usage: $0 [-s]" >&2; exit 1 ;;
17 432335a8 2022-02-21 op esac
18 432335a8 2022-02-21 op done
19 432335a8 2022-02-21 op
20 432335a8 2022-02-21 op The usage is simple, it just accepts a -s flag to select a window
21 432335a8 2022-02-21 op instead of grabbing the whole screen.
22 432335a8 2022-02-21 op
23 432335a8 2022-02-21 op The image is saved in /tmp/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.png

33 432335a8 2022-02-21 op During the "select" maim aborts if a key is pressed; this however leaves
34 432335a8 2022-02-21 op a zero-byte file around, something I don't really like, so remove it in

42 432335a8 2022-02-21 op
