paper prints information about the given paper sizes, which can include
the standard form of its name, its width and height. The output is de-
signed to be both human- and machine-readable. The name is matched
case-insensitively, and ignoring spaces.
If neither a paper size nor the --all option is given, the current paper
size is used.
The current paper size is obtained by looking in order at the following
values until a non-empty value is found. If no paper size is config-
ured, paper exits with an error.
• The PAPERSIZE environment variable
• The user's default paper size in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/papersize
• The current locale's default paper size (if supported by the sys-
tem)
• The system default paper size in /etc/papersize
• The first paper size in the system list
• The first paper size in the user's list
