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  us-
       ing  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 ac-
              tual 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.  run-parts is used to
                           run the scripts, therefore their names must  comply
                           with run-part's naming requirements.
