NAME

       paperconf - print paper configuration information

SYNOPSIS

       paperconf [ [ -p ] paper | -d | -a ] [ -z ] [ -n | -N ] [ -s | -w | -h ] [ -c | -m | -i ]

DESCRIPTION

       paperconf prints information about a given paper.  The information that can be obtained is
       the name of the paper, its size and its width or height.  When called  without  arguments,
       paperconf  prints  the name of the system- or user-specified paper, obtained by looking in
       order at the PAPERSIZE environment variable, at the contents of the file specified by  the
       PAPERCONF  environment variable, at the contents of /etc/papersize or by using letter as a
       fall-back value if none of the other alternatives are successful.  By default,  width  and
       height of the paper are printed in PostScript points.

OPTIONS

              Specify the name of the paper about which information is asked.

       -d     Use the default builtin paper name.

       -a     Consider all known paper names.

       -z     If  the  paper  name is unknown, print it but issue a message on the standard error
              and exit with a non-zero code.

       -n     Print the name of the paper.

       -N     Print the name of the paper with the first letter capitalized.
