3 sshot is a simple script to make a screenshot!
4 
5 	#!/bin/sh
6 	
7 	select=
8 	clip=
9 
10 Did you know that getopts is a built-in?  The first version of this
11 script used getopt, but it was ugly and required some shell features
12 which I'm not sure are POSIX.  getopts is easier to handle:
13 
14 	while getopts cs name; do
15 		case $name in
16 		c)	clip=1 ;;
17 		s)	select=1 ;;
18 		?)	echo "Usage: $0 [-cs]" >&2; exit 1 ;;
19 		esac
20 	done
21 
22 The usage is simple, it just accepts a -c flag to copy the image in the
23 clipboard and a -s flag to select a window instead of grabbing the whole
24 screen.
25 
26 The image is saved as /tmp/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.png
27 
28 	file=/tmp/`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`.png
29 
30 	if [ -n "$select" ]; then
31 		maim -su > "$file"
32 	else
33 		maim -u > "$file"
34 	fi
35 
36 During the "select" maim aborts if a key is pressed; this however leaves
37 a zero-byte file around, something I don't really like, so remove it in
38 case
39 
40 	if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
41 		rm "$file"
42 		notify-send "sshot: aborted"
43 		exit 1
44 	fi
45 
46 Optionally save the image in the clipboard: (not the path, the whole
47 image!)
48 
49 	if [ -n "$clip" ]; then
50 		xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -i "$file"
51 	fi
52 
53 Then send a notification to give a feedback of the success
54 
55 	notify-send "sshot: done" "$file"
