You can do it with a shell command:

 cp /dev/fb0 screenshot.raw

[then maybe use ImageMagick to process the file screenshot.raw]

Or you can do it with your own program using open(), read()or mmap(),
close() on the frame buffer device.

Look at the frame buffer documentation in the kernel tree under the
Documentation directory, and use Google to find other material.
