NAME
screendump - dump the contents of a virtual console to stdout
SYNOPSIS
screendump [ options ] [ N ]
DESCRIPTION
The screendump command dumps the contents of virtual console N , (or the current console if N is omitted) to standard out.
Just saying
cat /dev/vcsN
has a similar effect.
OPTIONS
-V , --version
print version number.
-h , --help
print this usage message.
NOTES
For security reasons, screendump uses linux devices "virtual console screen" and "virtual console screen with attributes" to give access for screendump.
Ensure these files exist, using
cd /dev for i in 0 1 2 3 ...; do
|
mknod vcs$i c 7 $i |
||
|
mknod vcsa$i c 7 ‘expr 128 + $i‘ |
done
(filling in the ellipses) and give the device files appropriate permissions, or run screendump as root.
