This manual page documents briefly the flameshot command as provided by flameshot package.
flameshot is a screenshot tool that aims to be powerful yet simple-to-use. Its notable features include customizable appearance, in-app screenshot editing, D-Bus interface, tray icon support, experimental GNOME/KDE Wayland support, integration with Imgur and support for both GUI and CLI interface.
Besides the usage information about flameshot in this manpage, you can find similar information using flameshot --help. Same --help can be used for each subcommand as well to get the valid arguments for them. The detailed usage of flameshot is documented in the README.md file on the project's Git repository page: https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot
Per default without subcommands, flameshot runs the Flameshot in the background and adds a tray icon for configuration. Note that it will not take a screenshot unless you define one of the modes though the subcommands. There are various subcommands that can be used to use flameshot in different modes:

If no argument is provided, it will open the config window, otherwise it can change the configurations based on the provided arguments.
