import − 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.
import [options] input-file
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/www/import.html or http://www.imagemagick.org/script/import.php.

By default, ’file’ is written in the MIFF 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.
