+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+fbdump [*-fb <device>*] [*-vt <terminal>*] [*-delay <sec>*]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+fbdump is a simple tool that captures the contents of the visible portion
+of the Linux framebuffer device and writes it to the standard output as
+a PPM file. In other words, it takes a screenshot of anything running on
+the framebuffer. It currently has fairly complete support for packed-pixel
+framebuffer types and also works with the VGA16 framebuffer driver.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+**-fb** *device*
+            Path to the framebuffer device to dump. Default: */dev/fb0*.
+
+**-vt** *terminal*
+            Bring virtual terminal number *terminal* to the foreground before dumping.
+            Default: dump current foreground terminal.
+
+**-delay** *sec*
+            Wait *sec* seconds before dumping. Default: dump immediately.
+
+--help
+            Display usage and exit.
