Get screenshot/image of vt

[ralph_ralph]

Hello, my question about vt(4) console, is it possible to get screenshot or image? maybe as PNG or JPEG?

Thanks for help

I don't think it's possible at the moment. AFAIK vt(4) is missing CONS_SCRSHOT support. With sc(4) it's possible with vidcontrol(1) and sysutils/scr2png.

Dear ralph_ralph,
If you are interested in the content you can use script(1) which generates a text file of everything that appears on the screen. I hope this is an option for you.
