$ slop -l
try on your machine

The command "slop -l" is typically used in the Linux operating system.

The "slop" program is a utility that helps you precisely select a region or window on your screen. It allows you to select an area by dragging your mouse over it and provides you with information about the selected area such as the width, height, position, and more.

By using the "-l" option with the "slop" command, you tell it to output the selected area details to the console or terminal prompt. The information displayed might include the coordinate positions (x and y), size (width and height), and other relevant details.

This command is often used in conjunction with other programs or scripts, where the output from "slop -l" is utilized for further processing or as input for other commands, such as capturing a screenshot of the selected area.
