How can I include the mouse pointer using a command-line screenshot utility?

Question

I'd like to do this without giving feedback to the user as well, because a program I'm making will use it many times.

What didn't work:

• scrot (No mouse pointer)
• import -window root (No mouse pointer)
• xwd -root (No mouse pointer)
• fbgrab (I'm not using a framebuffer, apparently)
• gnome-screenshot -p (Big, ugly flash + sound)
• shutter (It took a second and a half!)

It would also be great if it would be fast (scrot takes ~ .1 sec to run).
It's fine if the mouse cursor is added later through additional processing.

Well, was just looking for the same, and I stumbled upon this man page: https://manpages.debian.org/testing/scrot/scrot.1.en.html where I could see:

...
-p, --pointer
    Capture the mouse pointer.

... and it links to a Github:

Obviously, no apt for this on Raspbian Stretch, so I had to build it from source - but the --pointer option seems to work fine.
