PAPERCONFIG(8) (5 January 2005) 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 using the papersize file. It can either ask interac-
tively 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
-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.
--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.
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 pack-
age 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 require-
ments.
