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
       ${prefix}/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
       -p paper
              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.

       -s     Print the size (width followed by height) of the paper.

       -w     Print the width of the paper.

       -h     Print the height of the paper.

       -c     Use centimetres as unit for paper size.

       -m     Use millimetres as unit for paper size.

       -i     Use inches as unit for paper size.

ENVIRONMENT
       PAPERSIZE           Paper size to use regardless of what the papersize
                           file contains.

       PAPERCONF           Full path to a file containing the paper size to
                           use.

FILES
       ${prefix}/etc/papersize
                           Contains the name of the system-wide default paper
                           size to be used if the PAPERSIZE and PAPERCONF
                           variables are not set.
