SYNOPSIS

       paperconf [ [ -p ] paper | -d | -a ] [ -z ] [ -n | -N ] [ -s | -w | -h ] [ -c | -m | -i ]

DESCRIPTION

       paperconf prints information about a given paper.  The information that can be obtained is the name of the paper, its size and its width or
       height.	When called without arguments, paperconf prints the name of the system- or user-specified paper, obtained by looking in  order	at
       the  PAPERSIZE  environment  variable,  at  the	contents  of  the file specified by the PAPERCONF environment variable, at the contents of
       /etc/papersize or by using letter as a fall-back value if none of the other alternatives are successful.  By default, width and	height	of
       the paper are printed in PostScript points.
