Command that outputs current workspace?

Instead of having the workspace switcher on the panel I would rather just have the current workspace name/number.
Is there a command that would output the current workspace so I could use a script and the genmon panel plugin to show it?

Not sure as a panel item, I know you can do it with conky using this snippet:

${desktop_name}

wmctrl can do this.

wmctrl -d

and more specifically:

wmctrl -d | grep \* | tr -s " " | cut -d' ' -f10
