+.PP 
+obxprop is a tool for displaying the properties on an x

+This tool has a similar functionality to \fBxprop\fR,

+.PP 
+You may use the \fB\-\-id\fR option to specify a window 
+identifier, otherwise obxprop will allow you to select a window by 
+clicking on it. 
+.PP 
+Primarily, this tool exists for Openbox users to see the value of the 
+_OB_NAME, _OB_CLASS, and _OB_ROLE properties, which Openbox uses for 
+matching windows against user-defined application rules. 
+.SH "OPTIONS"
