+fbcat (take screenshots of the framebuffer console)
+
+fbcat takes a screenshot using the framebuffer device and stores it in a
+PPM file. Also provided is a fbgrab command, which takes PNG screenshots
+and supports several useful options (such as changing consoles).
+
+The following visuals are supported: TRUECOLOR, DIRECTCOLOR, PSEUDOCOLOR,
+STATIC_PSEUDOCOLOR, MONO01, MONO10.
+
+On the SlackBuild author's system, fbcat runs about 3x as fast as fbdump.
