# grim
Grab images from a Wayland compositor. Works great with [slurp] and with [sway] >= 1.0.
## Example usage
Screenshoot all outputs:
```sh
grim screenshot.png
```
Screenshoot a specific output:
```sh
grim -o DP-1 screenshot.png
```
Screenshoot a region:
```sh
grim -g "10,20 300x400" screenshot.png
```
Select a region and screenshoot it:
```sh
grim -g "$(slurp)" screenshot.png
```
Use a timestamped filename:
```sh
grim $(xdg-user-dir PICTURES)/$(date +'%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S_grim.png')
```
Screenshoot and copy to clipboard:
```sh
grim - | wl-copy
```
Grab a screenshot from the focused monitor under Sway, using `swaymsg` and `jq`:
```sh
grim -o $(swaymsg -t get_outputs | jq -r '.[] | select(.focused) | .name') screenshot.png
```
