       paper  prints  information  about the given paper sizes, which can include the standard form of its name,
       its width and height. The output is designed to be both human- and machine-readable.  The name is matched
       case-insensitively, and ignoring spaces.

       If neither a paper size nor the --all option is given, the current paper size is used.

       The current paper size is obtained by looking in order at the following values until a non-empty value is
       found.  If no paper size is configured, paper exits with an error.

       •      The PAPERSIZE environment variable

       •      The user's default paper size in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/papersize

       •      The current locale's default paper size (if supported by the system)

       •      The system default paper size in /etc/papersize

       •      The first paper size in the system list
