Description

Is there any plan to add a screenshot API, which I think will be really useful. I know there's an screencap command but that requires root privilege.
Cheers!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing screencap command and its root-privilege requirement, then identify how a screenshot API would be exposed to Termux command-line programs. Done would require an agreed API design and implementation scope, which the issue does not specify.
