Ls directory size reporting byte size instead of file count

paperconfig

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  /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

       /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 pack-
			   ages may.
