NAME

       paperspecs - paper size specifications

DESCRIPTION

       A  CSV  format  list  of  the  paper size specifications used by paper.  Each line contains the following
       fields:

       NAME,WIDTH,HEIGHT,UNIT

       Valid units are: pt (PostScript points), mm, in.

       A size may be defined more than once. Only the first definition is normally used.  This  means  that  the
       user's paperspecs file overrides sizes in the system file (see below).

       Multiple definitions are also used to allow inexact definitions to be looked up by size. For example, the
       LC_PAPER  mechanism  available on some systems defines paper sizes in whole numbers of millimetres, which
       results in a definition for Letter size that does not exactly match the definition in inches.

FILES

       /etc/paperspecs
              System list of paper sizes.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/paperspecs
              User's list of paper sizes. This is prepended to the system list.

BUGS

       The CSV format is restricted: quotes are not allowed; hence, fields cannot be escaped.

CREDITS

       The original list of paper names came from Ghostscript 3.68's gs_stadt.ps.
