Console screendumps

Contributed by rueda on 2023-01-28 from the oh-my-console dept.

As part of her efforts in developing patches for the console (many of which have been committed recently), Crystal Kolipe created some patches for taking screenshots of the OpenBSD console.

She wrote an in depth article, Coding new ioctls to produce screendumps from the console, about her work.

We will look forward to further development and refinement on this.

This looks very interesting, I would like to see how this turns out, especially when using curses based utilities.
