14       that can be obtaineed are the name of the paper, its size and its width

16       the  system-  or  user-specified paper, obtained by looking in order at
17       the PAPERSIZE environment variable, at the contents of the file  speci‐
18       fied by the PAPERCONF environment variable, at the contents of the file
19       /etc/papersize , consulting  the  values  controlled  by  the  LC_PAPER
20       locale  setting, or by using letter as a fall-back value if none of the
21       other alternatives are successful.  By default, width and height of the
22       paper are printed in PostScript points.
