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	 pack‐
       ages of the change by running the scripts in the /etc/libpaper.d direc‐
       tory.

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
       /etc/papersize	   Contains  the name of the system-wide default paper
			   size to be used if the PAPERSIZE  variable  is  not
			   set.

       /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.
