import1
Saves any visible window on an x server and outputs it as an image file. you can capture a single window, the entire screen, or any rectangular portion of the screen. the window to capture is selected by clicking the desired window or a program option.
Usage
- magick import [options] output-file
Overview
The import program is a member of the ImageMagick(1) suite of tools. Use it to capture some or all of an X server screen and save the image to a file.
For more information about the import command, point your browser to file:///usr/share/doc/ImageMagick-7/www/import.html or https://imagemagick.org/script/import.php.

Miscellaneous Options:
-debug events display copious debugging information
-help print program options
-log format format of debugging information
-list type print a list of supported option arguments
-version print version information
By default, 'file' is written in the Postscript image format. To specify a particular image format, precede the filename with an image format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps). Specify 'file' as '-' for standard input or output.
