NAME

       paperconfig - configure the system default paper size

SYNOPSIS

       paperconfig [ -v, --version ] [ -h, --help ] [ -p, --paper papername | --force ]

DESCRIPTION

       paperconfig  sets  the  system  (or  default) paper to be used by tools using the papersize file.  It can
       either ask interactively for the paper to use or be called non-interactively by scripts.

       When the paper size has been changed, paperconfig notifies other packages of the change  by  running  the
       scripts in the /etc/libpaper.d directory.

OPTIONS

       -v, --version
              Print the version of paperconfig and exit.

       -h, --help
              Print help about usage and exit.

       -p, --paperpapername
              Use papername if possible.  If papername is not a valid paper, print an error message and exit.

       --force
              Force interactive selection of the system paper even if the actual paper is a valid one.

ENVIRONMENT

       PAPERCONF  Full  path  to  a  file containing the paper size to use; this file will be rewritten with the
       system paper size.

FILES

       /etc/papersize      Contains the name of the system-wide default paper size to be used if  the  PAPERSIZE
                           variable is not set.

       /etc/libpaper.d     Directory of scripts to run after the paper size has been changed.  This package puts
                           no  scripts  here,  but  other  packages  may.  run-parts is used to run the scripts,
                           therefore their names must comply with run-part's naming requirements.
