- Wait for the user to make a selection and output its geometry to `stdout`:

`slop`

- Double click, rather than click and drag, to draw a selection:

`slop {{[-D|--nodrag]}}`

- Highlight the selection rather than outlining it:

`slop {{[-l|--highlight]}}`

- Specify the output format:

`slop {{[-f|--format]}} {{format_string}}`

- Specify the selection rectangle's color:

`slop {{[-c|--color]}} {{red}},{{green}},{{blue}},{{alpha}}`
