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¶

-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.
