NAME

DESCRIPTION

9       slurp [options...]
10

SYNOPSIS

12       slurp is a command-line utility to select a region from Wayland compos‐
13       itors which support the layer-shell protocol. It lets the user hold the
14       pointer to select, or click to cancel the selection.
15
16       If the standard input is not a TTY, slurp will read a list of prede‐
17       fined rectangles for quick selection. Each line must be in the form
18       "<x>,<y> <width>x<height>".
