## Historique du projet et usages

VNCSnapshot is a command-line utility for connecting to a VNC server and saving the server's screen as a JPEG image. Its original project page presents it as a non-interactive cousin of a VNC viewer, useful when the desired output is an image file rather than a remote desktop window.

### Historique du projet

The SourceForge-hosted project page identifies Grant McDorman as the contact author and says VNCSnapshot is derived from TightVNC and RealVNC. The page's CVS identifier and release-note timestamps place active maintenance around 2004, with the public release line centered on version 1.2 and 1.2a.

Release notes for version 1.2 added multi-snapshot capture through `-count` and `-fps`, provided a Windows-usable `vncpasswd`, improved builds on non-Linux Unix systems, and fixed Mac OS X compilation errors. Those changes reflect the project's niche: making VNC screen capture scriptable across Unix, Linux, Windows, and Darwin-era Mac OS X systems.

### Modes d'utilisation

VNCSnapshot is invoked with VNC viewer-style options, a target such as `host:display`, and an output JPEG filename. The official examples cover direct capture, listening mode, tunneled connections, password files supplied with `-passwd`, rectangular crops with `-rect`, repeated captures with `-count`, and frame timing with `-fps`.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

The tool matters mostly as a small automation bridge for old-school VNC infrastructure. It lets scripts, monitoring jobs, test harnesses, or documentation workflows take a remote-desktop snapshot without starting a full viewer session.

### Chronologie

- 2004-09-09: Version 1.2 release notes document multi-snapshot capture and portability fixes.
- 2004-09-11: The project web page revision identifies the SourceForge-hosted documentation and version 1.2a summary.

### Related projects

- VNCSnapshot derives from TightVNC and RealVNC, and it ships a `vncpasswd` helper for creating password files used by the `-passwd` option.
