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, --paperpapername
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.
