paper prints information about the given paper sizes, which can include the standard form of its name, its width and height. The output is designed 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 configured, 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 system)

•   The system default paper size in /usr/pkg/etc/papersize

•   The first paper size in the system list

•   The first paper size in the user's list
