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 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
       -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  mes‐
              sage and exit.

       --force
              Force interactive selection of the system paper even if the actual paper is a valid
              one.

       ten with the system paper size.
