+            Take a screenshot of the workspace, i.e. all screens united. The
+            application that requests the screenshot must have the org.kde.KWin.ScreenShot2
+            interface listed in the X-KDE-DBUS-Restricted-Interfaces desktop file
+            entry.
+
+            Supported since version 3.
+
+            Available @options include:

+                                       native size. Defaults to false
+
+            The following results get returned via the @results vardict:
+
+            * "type" (s): The type of the image written to the pipe. Currently,
+                          the only supported type is "raw"
+            * "width" (u): The width of the image. Available only if the image
+                           type is "raw"
+            * "height" (u): The height of the image. Available only if the image
+                            type is "raw"
+            * "stride" (u): The number of bytes per row. Available only if the
+                            image type is "raw"
+            * "format" (u): The image format, as defined in QImage::Format.
