Simply captures a screenshot with maim.

Usage: $0 [-o/--output <OUTPUT_PATH>] [-s/--select] 
[-d/--delay <SECONDS>] [--help]

Options:
--help - show the help section
-s, --select - set the screenshot capture to selection mode
-d, --delay <SECONDS> - set a delay for the capture 
                        (in <SECONDS> seconds)
-o, --output <OUTPUT_PATH> - set the output path for the picture;
                             when given no output, the picture will 
                             be moved to \$PICTURES_DIRECTORY (or 
                             at \$HOME/Pictures if it's missing)
