+Take a screenshot in Plan9. This applies to [Plan9](https://9p.io/plan9/) and
+[9front](https://9front.org/). This will take a screenshot of the screen and
+output it to `/dev/screen`. You can then use `topng` to convert it to a png
+image.
+
+```sh
+# Instant screenshot.
+cat /dev/screen | topng > screen.png
+
+# Delayed screenshot (5 seconds).
+sleep 5; cat /dev/screen | topng > screen.png
+```
