+.TH SCREENDUMP 8
+.SH NAME
+screendump \- write current console screen to standard output
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B screendump
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B Screendump
+prints the contents of the console screen to standard output.  It does this
+by reading the screen memory, skipping over attribute bytes, omitting
+trailing blanks and inserting a newline character at the end of each line.
+.SH NOTES
+The most common use of 
+.BR screendump
+is with output redirected to a file. This allows screen displays (including 
+output of F-keys) to be captured for inclusion in other documents.
+.PP
+This version is for IBM-PC architecture only. 
+.SH BUGS
+A network user captures an image of the main console, not his or her own
+screen.  The output will usually not be what you expect if the display is in
+hardware scrolling mode, since in that mode the order of the lines in screen
+memory may not be the same as what appears on the screen.
+If you expect to use 
+.BR screendump
+to send notes to someone about problems that occur while using 
+.BR MINIX
+you must remember to toggle to software scrolling before you make the dump.
+It will also be necessary to use
+.BR su ,
+because
+.BR /dev/mem
+is normally not world readable.
