PAPERCONFIG(8) System Manager's Manual PAPERCONFIG(8)
NAME
paperconfig - configure the system default paper size
SYNOPSIS
paperconfig [--version|--help|--paper papername|--choose]
DESCRIPTION
paperconfig queries the current paper size, and sets the system 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 pack-
ages of the change by running the scripts in the /etc/libpaper.d direc-
tory.
When no paper is specified, paperconfig prints the current system paper
size.
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.
-c, --choose
Choose system paper interactively.
FILES
/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.
