This little tool takes screenshots of your phone from within the terminal.

You might ask why I upload this when there's already a version from NielDK. Well, Qualcomm f*cked up the framebuffer device and this contains a patch so your screenshot will be bit-perfect.

Why would anyone need this? There is possibility to make screenshots with d-bus lipstick interface (https://together.jolla.com/question/39930/howto-take-a-screenshot-from-t...), and jolla-'developer-mode' package contains simple wrapper 'grabscreen' for this d-bus interface.

framebuffer cat should be 100x much faster than saving pixmap of homescreen widget. need to be tested.
