DESCRIPTION

13       paperconf prints information about a given paper.  The information that
14       can  be  obtained  is  the name of the paper, its size and its width or
15       height.  When called without arguments, paperconf prints  the  name  of
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.
