PAPERSIZE(5)                           File Formats Manual                           PAPERSIZE(5)

NAME
       papersize - specify preferred paper size

SYNOPSYS
       /etc/papersize

DESCRIPTION
       The  papersize  file  is used to specify the preferred paper size to use by available com-
       mands and programs generating documents.

       The format of this file is extremely simple: whitespace and anything starting with `#'  is
       ignored,  and the name of the paper is the first string found; the case in the name of the
       paper does not import (see CAVEATS section however).

PAPER NAMES
       The following names are commonly understood by programs: a3, a4, a5,  b5,  letter,  legal,
       executive, note and 11x17.

       Additional  paper  names  that one may encounter are: a0, a1, a2, a6, a7, a8, a9, a10, b0,
       b1, b2, b3, b4,  tabloid,  statement,  note,  halfletter,  halfexecutive,  folio,  quarto,
       ledger, archA, archB, archC, archD, archE, flsa, flse, csheet, dsheet, esheet and 10x14.

       The value of the papersize file can be overrideen by looking in order at the PAPERSIZE en-
       vironment variable, then at the contents of the file specified by the  PAPERCONF  environ-
       ment variable.  If the papersize file does not exist, programs using the paper library de-
       fault to using letter as a fall-back value

CAVEATS
       This manual page documents the format of the papersize file that is read by  the  libpaper
       library.   Some programs that read this file do not yet use the library and may have trou-
       ble ignoring whitespace and comments in the file; they may also  require  that  the  paper
       names use a specific capitalization.
