+============
+
+Name
+----
+swaygrab - Grab image data from the current sway session.
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+'swaygrab' [options] [output] [file]
+
+Grabs pixels from _output_ and writes them to _file_. The image will be passed to
+ImageMagick convert for processing.
+
+Options
+-------
+
+*-h, --help*::
+ Show help message and quit.
+
+*-c, \--capture*::
+ Captures multiple frames as video and passes them into ffmpeg. Continues until
+ you send SIGTERM (ctrl+c) to swaygrab.
+
+*-v, \--version*::
+ Print the version (of swaymsg) and quit.
+
+*-s, --socket* <path>::
+ Use the specified socket path. Otherwise, swaymsg will ask sway where the
+ socket is (which is the value of $SWAYSOCK, then of $I3SOCK).
+
+*-r, --rate* <rate>::
+ Specify a framerate (in frames per second). Used in combination with -c.
+ Default is 30. Must be an integer.
+
+*--raw*::
+ Instead of invoking ImageMagick or ffmpeg, dump raw rgba data to stdout.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+swaygrab HDMI-A-1 output.png::
+ Grab the contents of HDMI-A-1 and write to output.png.
+
+swaygrab -c HDMI-A-1 output.webm::
+ Capture a webm of HDMI-A-1.
