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

       -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.
