# Ident(1x)

the AfterStep window identification module

## NAME

**Ident** - the AfterStep window identification module

## SYNOPSIS

**Ident**

## DESCRIPTION

The **Ident** module prompts the user to select a target window, if the module was not launched from within a window context in AfterStep. After that, the **Ident** module pops up a window with information about the window which was selected.

Although **Ident** can be run from the command line, it is normally  spawned by afterstep from within an afterstep menu file by 'Modules-\>Ident'.
