SPECIAL STRINGS
Both the --exec and filename parameters can take format specifiers that are expanded by
scrot when encountered. There are two types of format specifier. Characters preceded by a
'%' are interpretted by strftime(2). See man strftime for examples. These options may be
used to refer to the current date and time. The second kind are internal to scrot and are
prefixed by '$' The following specifiers are recognised:
$f image path/filename (ignored when used in the filename)
$n image name (ignored when used in the filename)
$s image size (bytes) (ignored when used in the filename)
$p image pixel size
$w image width
$h image height
$t image format
$$ prints a literal '$'
\n prints a newline (ignored when used in the filename)
EXAMPLE
scrot '%Y-%m-%d_$wx$h.png' -e 'mv $f ~/shots/'
This would create a file called something like 2000-10-30_2560x1024.png and move it to
your shots directory.
