PAPERCONFIG(8)           Linux Administrator's Manual           PAPERCONFIG(8)

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
       ${prefix}/etc/libpaper.d directory.

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

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

       -p, --paper papername
              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
       ${prefix}/etc/papersize
                           Contains the name of the system-wide default paper
                           size to be used if the PAPERSIZE variable is not
                           set.

       ${prefix}/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.
