Using GNU Screen (Screen version 4.06.02 (GNU) 23-Oct-17), I want to use hardcopy to save the colors of a specific screen.

When I run screen -x nameofmyscreen -X hardcopy /tmp/hardcopy, the resulting file is only the text of the screen. (Similar result to when I press Ctrl+A, h).

Can GNU Screen save the colors of the screen into a file?

What you *can* do is turn logging on before running the command you want to capture the output of. See `log on`, and `logfile`. – meuh Jan 11 '21 at 17:13
Do you want a text version with escape codes (something you could `cat` to see again) or an image? – Eduardo Trápani Jan 11 '21 at 19:25
Yes, I want escape codes, so this could be `cat`ed back. – earboxer Jan 12 '21 at 14:18
